That is true of certified airplanes. If you check in the Experimental category it says "you must be licensed" and that is all. I even checked with the local FSDO and their response is that endorsements for tailwheel, complex and such do not apply to experimental category aircraft. You just must hold a valid pilots license and be current. They also added that when looking at homebuilts that they prefer to see a pilot with tail wheel time if it is a taildragger and may write into the operational limitations for the aircraft being licensed that a properly endorsed pilot may be the only operator of the aircraft, but normally that is not done.

Dana is correct: paragraph i(1) of the FAR 61.31 states that anyone desiring to act as pic must have a one time training and endorsement for acting as pic for a tailwheel airplane. No exception is given for experimental operation.
