Trim tabs on a Cat can help, but they are a band-aide for a setup issue. They induce drag, that will force the nose down.
I will be the first to admit that the MG has some "bounce" to it out of the box. However, most have been able to tune this out using proper strut and battery position, and picking the right prop. There are countless threads on it here.
Let us know how the tabs work out for you. Could be the ticket.
If you get adventurous, look at my "MG Race Prep" thread and attack the job of blue-printing the ride surfaces. This helps a ton. None of my race-boats "bounce", but they've been tuned and tweaked to get them there. The factory ride-pads are pretty "concave". Put a straight-edge on them to see yourself. Takes some work to get flat, but worth it if you are really interested in optimal performance.
Hopefully, Pro Boat can work with their manufacturers to get these a little cleaner out of the molds so this kind of custom work wouldn't be necessary.
