Default Help with CG please

I have a OPM 540 FF and I think the plane is tail heavy. It is very sensitive to elevator inputs. It will go up or down a little on its own. I just picked the plane up between my thumb and index finger along the top edge of the fuse to find the CG. I used Billy Hell's 5.5" from the leading edge as stated in his review. I did just notice that the manuel says 2" - 1.75" from the main spar. There is about a 1/2" difference toward the tail heavy side between the two CGs. Do you guys have any good methods for getting the CG of a profile? And do any of you have advice about a good starting CG measurement for the OMP 540 Edge?

So far the Bros have been stellar with helping get this first build bird in the air. THanks for everything.

I'm 757 and fly like a 757. Give me a little though.
