Default Stock Formosa Power Problems

Ugh! I'm running the stock 350c formosa engine with a 7-cell NiMH and ICS-300 ESC. It flew reasonably well once or twice, but now it seems like I've lost some power. I barely have enough power to stay airborne. What could be wrong? I''m using a 9x4.7 gws prop. Tried the larger 10x7 prop included, but didn't help.
Am I encountering basic 'newbie' issues? I've heard of 'timing' the motor and considered upgrading to an 8-cell, but it seems like I have a more basic problem...
This is my 1st 4-channel plane and I'm loving it! Can't wait to get the bugs worked out ;-)
