Okay, so I'm deaf and can't count...

Ehhh... I was hoping others would have distinct thrust issues so I felt at ease compensating. Doesn't sound like that's the case so far. So, if the plane has no inherent thrust issue, and we are mounted dead square to the firewall, why would I get such a sigificant rise when I cut the throttle? Are there other factors that can cause this? I know the CG is 4-1/2" or less, so it can't be a tail-heavy condition. Are we maybe dealing with a wing incidence issue?

When we flew maiden, we had the elevator dead flat. Once up, it took a few clicks of up to trim at about 1/3 throttle. This sure made landing a b-kitty fighting the float in the wind. I'm not used to pushing a plane down to land, so it was a little scary. Maybe flying this weekend will provide more clues.
