Default RE: Nose down on full power Help Required

If your thrust line is well above the center of drag, any increase in power will pitch the plane down. This can be somewhat corrected by upthrust but often excessive upthrust is required to over come the pitching moment, especially if the motor is near or centered over the CG. Changing relative setting between wing and stab angles will not do it. If the plane handles nice with power off, leave those settings as they are.
