Yes, the attitude of the plane looks much better now. Hanging the model from "above" to check CG really does mask the measurement a lot. If the plane is somewhat tail-heavy all you see is that it hangs slightly tail low. If you were to hang the model upside down you would find it much more difficult to balance, but your measurement would be very accurate.
