There's also the tailwheel lock... Shift+T I want to say? You should look it up though.

Are you using a keyboard or a joystick for rudder control?

Have you considered the MAAM DC-3? I don't have it but I've got a couple of their a/c and they are excellent. I would imagine that the MAAM DC-3 is easier to taxi and has all around better flight dynamics.

With a little bit of googling you'll find there is a huge fan base out there and it should be pretty easy to get support.

Did you know that in WWII, the junior mechanic would sit on the wing and guide the pilot into the revment? That's one way of doing it !!!
