I got the plane last week, got about 6 flights then, maybe 4 today.
Took off the speed brakes, made it faster, nose climbed noticibly, kind of a pain, not sure what I will do there.

Did you also set the flaps UP when you removed the speed brakes?
The brakes have a tendancy of pushing the nose down, the flaps push it up... so to speak.
Out of the box the stock setup balances out when both are in place.
If you have not done so, put in the flap servos and only drop the flaps for landing. You'll notice that the nose up tendancy will disappear if the plane is balanced out... though mine required 3 oz of weight on the tail.
Once I removed the flywheel weight, I was also able to remove the tail weights saving almost half a pound in total.
