it's an unfortunate characteristic of rc biplanes that they get a bit on the heavy side for their wing area. that results in low glide rates and relatively fast landing speeds. it might just be something you have to live with. pushing the CG back often results in a dynamically tail heavy condition, as well, making tail response sluggish and dangerous.
