Default Balancing a Mid Wing Plane?

I am in the process of balancing my Something Extra and need a little help. I am using the Great Planes CG machine and am experiencing the following. I have tried to balance it both right side up and inverted. It seems like it might be tail heavy, but when I push down on the nose, it gets to a point where it then goes all the way over and seems nose heavy. I am balancing it at 3 1/2" back from the LE as indicated in the plans. I am reluctant to put any weight on the front since it will nose over after a certain point when the tail becomes higher than the front.

Any input would be welcome.
