Default How much throw for tail wheel?

Except for the bigger planes, most tail wheels I've seen have a direct "hard" connection to the rudder. That means it will pivot the same as the rudder.

Is this how you converted yours? If you've run a separate line, set the turning ratio lower at first, so you don't find yourself over correcting. It's easy to get out of control as your learning to take off in a tail dragger.
