Tailwheel - wind behind you

I am canvassing others thoughts and opinions on this, in particular with regards to very light tailwheel a/c. (Such as the ALMS Savage but any similar light, tailwheelers)

Where should the stick be with the wind behind you?
With the engine running and taxying, obviously there's propwash over the tail - but you've got the wind behind you also?

How strong a wind would it need to be to overcome the propwash?
