Double or triple check your gear alignment. My tail dragger KR handles as well on pavement as any tri-gear airplane I've ever flown. I forget at times that I'm flying a tail dragger. :-) In spite of all the claims to the contrary, I recommend a zero/zero alignment with the plane loaded to its normal flying weight. Steerable tail wheel and rudder will handle directional control just fine without any unwanted input from a toe-in, tow-out setup on the mains. 350 hours and I've never needed brakes for directional control, grass or hard surface, even with moderate cross winds.
