This weekend I began my tailwheel endorsement endeavor and had a
lesson in a shiny 160 hp Citabria. It was great fun but the stick and
rudder forces seemed pretty heavy compared to the C-150 I am used to.
The trim was in an unfamiliar position and I didn't get used to using
it enough on the first flight perhaps. However are there tailwheels
that are lighter to handle than the citabria?
The other issue I was wondering about: does the position of the CG
shift when the tail is raised? So is the tailwheel more stable while
taxing at a higher speed on the two front wheels? In other words, I am
wondering if a tailwheel taxing with the tail raised has a similar CG
position to a tricycle gear airplane.

So you've found out what those pedals
on the floor are for. (:

Seriously, after flying ultralight and
light sport planes, I was really surprised
that a 150 will fly fine with your feet
on the floor.

Both the light sport planes I've flown
required aggressive rudder control, with
one of them needing substantial "top rudder"
at times.

Neither are taildraggers.
