"Spitmunk QFI summarised his advice to me as 'taxing in a strng following wind? Move the stick in the opposite sense to the throttle." Throttle closed=stick fwd (no sig prop wash, counters risk of tailwind getting under raised elevator). Throttle open = stick back to allow prop wash to press tail down, not up."

Nice simple way to explain it; that'll be appearing in a tailwheel conversion course near you any day now
