Default RE: Thrust ???

The test for engine thrust is: in level flight at full bore and trimmed for level flight chop the throttle to idle. If the thrust is correct the plane will nose down gradually as the speed bleeds off. If it vears up you need up thrust, if it vears down you need down thrust.

I agree with the earlier poster it is probubly a ballence problem, most likely nose heavy. be carefull!
