Hold in full up elevator when you are taxiing, and keep the speed down.
When you are ready to take off gradually reduce the up elevator as you add power. Accelerate smoothly, don't just wack open the throttle.
A good guide would be to push both sticks forward together....

try balancing the plane with the CG a little further back (closer to tail thatn it is now) as well as the elevator. if this doesent work, move the mains up, move engine back move rx and baterie back move servoes if possible (do all this before adding dead weight)

A 'Tail Dragger' should have the main wheels just about on the Leading edge of the wing.. If they are any further back she'll tip. Try springing the gear forward. Also add just a tad of toe-in... Learned this from Piper Cubs! Also the throttle technique mentioned earlier is good info too!!
