other than your joy stick, step on the brakes and wind up the engine to full then release and use rudder to control direction, some earlier AC did not have tail wheel lock and needed the "prop wash " to make the rudder effective ( like in float planes) and is usefull here also. The torque on the older radials is no where near what the more modern ones were and with the needed invention of the tail wheel lock to make the ground steer possible the inline engines were easier to handle but still in need of the " prop wash" to give the rudder extra bite... like on some RC trike planes the rudder is connected to the nose wheel to help steer at higher rpm's , remember that the stick becomes more sensitive at these higher rpms so easy on the input .... happy trials !!
