Default RE: Engine thrust angle question

That is the problem, with the original thrust angle the plane was ballooning badly but flying with a tail down attitude despite proper GC balance.
When the engine was adjusted with enough donw thrust it flew better under power and didnt balloon too much but still flew tail heavy.
The control surfaces were checked and nothing else was out of the ordnary.
It was suggested to take the down thrust out and add nose weight but that ended in disaster.
When Iget it bolted back together I will give it another shot.
