This is a high wing plane. Be careful because adding downthrust on this design can be self defeating as you may end up just adding the prop wash to the underside of your wing increasing it's lift (which will increase with throttle). Look at the incidence angle That's the chord of main wing relative to horizontal stabilizer. If it is very high then reducing it should give better results. Try adding a shim under the TE.
