As far as taxiing goes :

Into headwinds and crosswinds - stick always full back and ailerons into the wind. After a while you just get to feel it.

With tailwinds - I prefer to do the same thing. I have been taught to 'dive away' just like a Cessna, but the first time I tried with an actual 10 kt tailwind, I almost groundlooped on the taxiway. I figure the propblast overwhelms the effect of the wind...
