Default SPAD conversion need help

HI Guy
Just keeping you up to date
Still fighting CG problem , with the axi 2826/10 a 3 cell kokam 200mah lipo jeti 40 3p controller and the wing moved back 2.25 inches it took 6 ounzes nose weight to balance
To date have not had succesfull flight, I am fight serious left turn problem as soon as airborne, is this due to engine torque???
upon a 30 to 40 foot roll with a 10 by 7 prop pulling back on stick makes this plane jump off the ground!!!
then veers left and pitches up , trying to stalll unfortunately I am not experienced enough to handle this all at once with a altitude of 12 feet what is my problem or am I the problem I wonder if I am not trying to get off the ground to soon and wing relocation is not helping matters
Am considering building wing with dyhedral good or bad idea????
For info purposes putting wing in orig location requires adding 16 ounces weight
was thinking lead firewall (LOL)
Actually a 10 cell subc pack would be very close to correct weight and likely give me serious air time though my rtf weight would be just over 6 lbs
if anyone could help with prop explanations of pitch versus speed and such it would be awesome
EXTREMELY OPEN TO ANY IDEAS
