Default RE: taildraggers

so i shouldn't have to be at full power on takeoff roll? maybe that's the problem. i don't watch the tail on the rollout either. just which way the damn thing is cruising for the edge of the runway. usually the wind has a lot to do with it also. i think even with the slightest breeze, this thing is affected. even when i try to work on ground handling through taxi practice, the tail gets blown around with the slightest breeze. should i add weight and re-adjust the CG again to hold it down better? i think it only weighs about 4 pounds total. maybe a couple ounces more.
