You may already do this, but it's hard to tell from your
post ...

It's probably wise to give a glance out the back at the
elevator trim to make sure it is in the desired position.
The trim position indicator is often not exceptionally
accurate. Of course, this only makes sense if you can 
see the elevator from the pilot's seat in the plane you
fly. :-)

 I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
