Default Engine thrust

I bought an electric park flyer from Hobby Lobby called the Leonardo. It flys great, with two exceptions. It tends to nose down when power is removed, and stalls easily at slow speeds. By slow, I mean I've had planes much slower that didn't stall. My CG is dead on to what the factory shows which is about 1/3 the wing chord.
The only thing I notice is that the engine has quite a bit of right thrust, but none down.
Should it have down thrust?
Thanks
Dick
