Keith,

The issue with the pitch change with flaps is that the manual calls for nose DOWN trim with flaps (which I did not yet mix in, luckly), and my plane needs nose UP trim with flaps.

Again, this may be due to my CG being a bit forward, but its not really that far forward. The forward limit is 370 and I'd guess that I'm no more than 375. Like I said, I'm going to remove about 2 oz. of lead at a time from the nose to see how it goes (I have 6 oz. total up there). I'm also going to setup the throttle-elevator mix with very small corrections to start and dial it in.
