Thinking bout how to best taxi a Monowheel downwind with a cross a few
questions need answering to satisfy my curiosity:

1) If lets say we have a right quartering tailwind where the wind is
blowing reverse over wings, the plane will want to yaw right. Would full
left stick or full right stick provide the most amount of adverse yaw? In
other words would full left stick or full right stick decrease the
tendency for the plane to yaw right?

Traditional taildragger training says let wind blow stick, or left stick.
For certain it will keep more pressure down on right wing from lifting,
but I am not sure as far as adverse yaw?

2) Kinda related to #1, taxing downwind with a right quarter and wind
blowing reverse over wings, do you taxi neutral, left or right aileron?

3) Taxi downwind, right crosswind, air reverse flow over stabilator (idle)
full down stabilator or neutral?

4) Taxi downwind, no crosswind, air reverse flow over stabilator, full
down stabilator or neutral?

Thanking in advance to replies.
