Yes, when nose weight is reduced, the plane will want to climb if elevator trim is not changed.
I would assume that if you have too much nose weight, then you are flying with a little up trim now. Is that right?
When you take out the nose weight, you should be able to reduce the up trim. And, that should make your Adrenaline even faster!

Hey chinky, If you remove those weights, you will need to shift your battery (or something heavy) forward.
Just removing the weights is going to make the plane tail heavy, and if it's tail heavy, you'll need a lot more than elevator trim to control it!
A tail-heavy airplane will NOT fly!
