Default Could use help with AK Models Cub CG

When I first put this Cub together I thought it was balanced correctly! The fuse was level when I finished. However, when I tried to fly it, it would not fly worth a crap!!! It seemed to be hanging on the prop and just wallowing around. So, we decided the plane was tail heavy! I added enough weight to the front to cause the nose to begin to point down. Well, now it flies just fine, I think. How on earth am I supposed to know how level the fuse is supposed or not supposed to be! The manual only tells me where to mark the CG point. Nothing about the attitude of the fuse!! I don't know if it is balanced correctly now!

Hope this makes sense. I am very tired and sleepy!!!
