Keep your speed up on landings and just keep gently feeding in elevator to keep it level. When the main wheels are about to touch, gently let go of the elevator and cut the throttle. It should settle in nice on the mains, roll for a bit then drop the tail. The amount of throttle needed will depend on the wind you are landing into.

It also likes a little right rudder on takeoff. Nothing extreme, just a slight, gentle nudge. You can generally let go when the tail is up and it's rolling straight at a decent speed.

C'mon Chuck, a newbie that can fly a 25 ounce foamie in 30+ MPH winds can certainly do without your landing tip/technique.
