Default Great Planes Venus Center of Gravity?

I'm a novice when it comes to setting up Pattern plane so I have a question regarding my Venus' CG. When quickly throttling back (hands off) the plane maintains a pretty good trajectory without an abrupt drop. But when I test it inverted I have to hold quite a bit of down elevator so taking my hands off the controls is out of the question. Should I move the CG back? If so how much from the factory recommendation (this is where the CG is now).
Thanks,
GarySS
