Rudder and rudder trim are only effective with a little bit of airspeed. In calm air, I have to keep the tailwheel planted until I see 40 indicated, otherwise I'll need some right brake to keep the plane headed down the runway. With 10 kts of crosswind from the left, take offs include bumping the right brake to keep it on the runway. Among the other changes I'm making to the plane, it will be getting some additional rudder added on this summer.
