Tail Wheel Tips ???

Have just finished my 1st hour of circuits in a decathlon! So what you may say, but having close to 200 hours nosewheel, I could not believe how challenging it was! Never felts so far behind the aircraft...perhaps its me?

Stick fully forward when applying full power was so counter intuitative. I was far to vague with the rudder and at one point felt the aircraft wanted to do a 180...thank god the instructor was on the ball.

Any way my question....anybody got any "secrets to success" or "words of wisdom" on getting to grips with this new challenge?
