Bryan,
With the engine idling the prop is producing relatively little slipstream so I
would suggest that unless using significant power settings (3000 rpm and above)
hold the stick forward in winds of 15kts (from behind) and above.
If in doubt about wind conditions, don=27t open the hanger doors.
As Martin has said, don=27t go for the brake if things start to go awry, this
will
almost always exacerbate the situation, especially if you are in a turn.
Best regards

taxiing with a tailwind with my instructor. He said that with a strong
tailwind I would need to change from full stick back (when the engine
slipstream was pushing the tail down) to full stick forward (when the
tailwind was stronger than the slipstream). He couldn=27t really give
me any solid idea of how strong a tailwind was too strong.
Can anyone give me an idea of how strong a tailwind would be required
for one to use full forward stick (and away from the wind, of course) in
a Europa?
