Default BVM BOBCAT setup question

Bobcat Owners, got a question for you,
I recently picked up a composite bobcat, I set it up with BVs CG (on the little holes in the boom) put about 15 flights on it, and thePlane flies good. I have sold it to a buddy and working on getting him his waiver, and am still helping get it just right. Since I have never owned a bocat or the likes I am not sure about setting up the optimal CG. The engine is a P70 and it has some down thrust in it, two #2 washers under the front of the engine mount. The jet flies great, and lands great, nice and slow nose up, but the one thing I notice is when inverted it takes a good amount of elevator to Hold it level, Normally that's the sign of a nose heavy setup, but this one having the engine down thrust is what is confusing me. Any Bobcat Pilots with insight on this I would appreciate it, I can move some batteries back, but just want to see if this is normal for this jet

Thanks Fellas
