To some extent this is normal, but a forward CG make it worse. How did you test to see if yours is right?

There are many methods. The one I use is to trim for level flight at moderate throttle, and then at the same speed put the plane in a dive, then release the stick. If it keeps right on going down, it is neutral in pitch stability. Most pilots prefer a little stability, which would show up as a modest tendency to gradually pull out of the dive on its own. If it pulls out pretty quickly, it is nose heavy.
