Default Small Beatcat CG Problem /question

I am having a problem with a small 56" Bearcat . I typically balance at 25% of mac . I cheated by 1/2 in order to reduce the nose weight needed to balance .
So at full power she wants to clime all day long , at 1/2 throttle perfect level controllable flight .
I am thinking I am tail heavy ??? any advice please ?

Wanting to climb at higher speed is somewhat natural.... Thrustline is a possibility too.
Try some of the trim sequences that the aerobatics guys use. Here's one:
