Anderhau,

1) Mine has 5-7 mm of up elevator for level flight. I think this is normal and recommended.

2) I also added 15mm up up elevator with full flaps and another 5 mm with full airbrake. I ran into the same problem on the first flights where I did not have the up-elevator mix and ran out of elevator on landing.

The plane likes to land nose-high and needs the elevator up trim.

Good luck with the trimming and don't be afraid to play with the mixes as they are sensitive to CG.
