Default RE: TF GS p-47 problem

yes hands off straight and level with full down trim. I run out of elev on flair unless I go to up trim. I can T/O with trim lever centered and she does fine. On balance I balanced inverted with gear up and got her slightly nose down attitude. I could add a little more lead and see it couldnt hurt to try but its not snappy at all the way it is. All incidences are correct per plans so I too believe I have a slight tail heavy condition. Cant fly tommorow anyway no prop and LHS closed so I will look at the balance again. At full power with neutral elevator it shouldnt climb out of sight but that is what is happening.
Come to think about it she act controllable but a little sluggish so sounds like a tail heavy condition. Any more input appreciated. This is a strange problem for me. My pica p-40 flys perfect and I thought the bolt would be easier well shes not so something is wrong
