I just bought an S-1E with steerable Scott tailwheel. Taxiing at idle, it turns left no problem. Right turns take a lot more; to do a normal s-turn requires full right rudder and a touch of brake. It has been suggested that even at idle, the prop produces enough torque to result in this condition. I'm not sure if that sounds reasonable or not, and was looking for thoughts from Pitts pilots more experienced than myself (that's pretty much everyone). Also, if steering needs adjustment, how do I do it? Thanks.
