Default RE: ENGINE DOWN THRUST ANGLE QUESTION???

Hi All
I have a Sig LT 25 that I just converted to e flight..It use to fly with an OS 25FX.
Now with the electric motor it wants to climb..I added some washers behind the mount for added down thrust and it still wants to climb. I check the engine down thrust agaisnt the plans and motor seems prefect.
Could IT be a matter of the Cg being tail heavy? I balanced It on the main wing spar as per the building instructions.

THanks Dan
PS the wing chord is 12" and the wing spar is 3 1/2" form the leading edge.Thats what wasa called for in the instructions.
