I don't know that I have ever heard this expressed as a percentage. I believe that the less weight on the tailwheel, the better the high-speed handling. I am usually satisfied if the aircraft, if not moving, will settle on its tail if released from an attitude that is slightly forward of level. Pretty unscientific, but that's my story.
