Default Setup help

I have an Easy 2 Trainer that I am puzzled on setting up. I have an OS .46FX on this plane with a 10 x 6 prop on it. when I am taking ot off, it seems to be dragging butt and not hopping into the air like it should. The plane's cg is perfect, when it's climbing it's almost " wallowing" and looks like it's tail heavy, and you have to work it for altitude. Once you have altitude, it flies ok. Almost like the prop is the issue. I have shimmed the tailing edge of the wing about a tongue depressor thickness ( if I take the shims out, it wants to climb straight up into a stall if there is any wind at all, that was the reason i shimmed the wing ) and the engine seems to have plenty of downthrust. I was kicking around the idea of an 11 x 7 prop and seeing what that would do. I just wanted to have another opinion also as to what others might think. Thanks
