Default balance problem

Hey guys,

Finally got this plane to fly great. But I'm confused why it is flying good. I kept adding weight to the tail, until now it seems the CG is at 50% of the wing cord!!!

Here's the initial problem. It wanted to go to the ground hands off. Inverted and level, same thing, go to the ground. Fly in a banked turn, pulls to the ground. You would think add tail weight.

In a dive, with power, or not - flys straight. In a vertical climb, with power - flys straight.

With the weight, flys ok. Without the weight, pulls to the ground with/without power.

7 pounds, 900 sq in wing

Suggestions?
