I was always taught "Let the wind blow the stick" i.e. if the wind is directly behind you it would blow the stick fully forward.
If the wind is from your 4 o'clock, the stick would be at 10 o'clock and so on. (In this case the elevators would be down to keep the tail down, as would the into wind (starboard) aileron to hold the wing wown.
I guess (no personal experience) that one reason for keeping the stick back with the Tiger Moth would be to keep the tail skid firmly in contact with the ground - on the original moth this was the only braking available!
