Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

It flies fine, but when I chop throttle, the plane noses straight for the ground, so I have to hold quite a bit of elevator to land.
NM_Mark,
I have not flown mine yet but I'm guessing this is not a plane that lends itself to chopping the throttle until the wheels are just about to touch down.

Also, it does a strange thing as I climb out - the nose points up, and increases the angle of attack unless I hold some down elevator. As soon as I build up some speed, it starts flying normally

Does the plane leave the ground at a very shallow angle or does it tend to jump into the air at a steep angle? I could be wrong but it doesn't really sound like a thrust angle problem if it flies fine with some speed. If this were the case it should keep pitching up the faster it flies.
