Should point nose down a few degrees when balanced.
11X6 prop.
.46 should be more than enough power.
Take the popcicle stick out, and try trimming the elevator so the plane will climb out (moderately) at full throttle, and fly level without desending, or ascending at 2/3-3/4 throttle.
10 degrees of down thrust will definately make it fly in a nose high wallow, it's trying to pull the nose down while you want it to go up! 2-3 degrees is enough.
A tail heavy plane will not "wallow", it will be very twitchy, and pitch happy. A nose heavy plane will claw it's way into the sky, wallowing all the way, and make you seem as if you have no power.
A headwind will not affect any of the above, in fact the plane can't tell if it's flying in a "headwind" "tailwind" or "cross wind". Once the plane leaves the ground, it's in the airmass, and only "sees" the wind over the wing, (relative airspeed) not any direction or speed of the wind.
Where you at in Ohio? Anywhere near the North Eastern part? (Lake/Ashtabula/Geauga Counties)
