Thanks for the input,
I think you are right about re-triming. With the control sufaces at neutral I have to fly it at a little less than 1/2 throtle to stay level. As soon as I increase throtle past 1/2 it starts to climb. The CG and engine thrust angles are at Hangar - 9 specs. My runway is about 200 feet. I raised the trailing edge of the wing 1/16" and it improved slightly.
Unless it works differently for models than for full scale, your plane should climb when you add power if it's trimmed for level flight at a given throttle setting.
