Default RE: F3A Formosa ARF Park Flyer GWS

I have just finished my Formosa and flew it stock on 8 cell 720 nimh battery pack. I also noticed much up elevator was required for level flight. I am trying to find what the thrust line of the motor should be. There was a little bit of slop in the recess of the firewall where the motor mount is installed. Could be there is to much down thrust in the motor. I had a Simpro sukhoi that did the same thing and I mixed some elevator into the throttle on my transmitter. If anyone knows the optimum thrust line both for torque and up or down please reply. This plane will be a kick once I go brushless.
