There is a lot of rudder effectiveness when the tail is in the air. And since the tail wheel is either free or locked straight (there is no tail wheel steering) it's up to the rudder, differential power or brakes to keep you straight. Taxiing is harder than flying at times!
I think by tapping differential brakes and a little rudder and gently forward on the yoke for a few seconds after touchdown to keep it firmly on the ground.

I've started training in a legend cub, I struggle with landings and rudder control, great job with the landings.

wow for reds on the VASI...man you were low

I see no reds and if you did, I think those are oriented to the perpendicular runway, 10/28. He landed on 7/25, which has no VASI.

You can see them on the right side from about 1 second to about 6 or 7

BTW how do you keep a DC3 straight on the runway if the tailwheel is in the air?
