Looks good... a solid conversion.
Did you say it was nosing on the jumps? It looks like the cg should be back farther than a nitro to me. That layout is similar to my 8ight but I have the battery forward more and it flies pretty level, seems balanced. I wonder if the rear was slapping the jumps?
Only thing I would change is just based on personal preference... where to stick the esc and rx. I like to put the rx over next to the servo and esc either right in front or right behind the battery, down on the chassis. Putting in the front is the best spot but does require a little more wire to reach the motor plugs. With it up front theres' plenty of room for a ubec and a big fan. The battery would have to slide forward to fit it behind. Not a big deal...
One last detail I try to do is get the rear of the motor secured. It's not always easy but it makes the motor really solid. If you are using the motor heatsink that bolts on, you could use the rear bracket to tie onto.. with a simple piece of L angle, bolted to the chassis. Something like this only bolted to the heatsink:
Notice in this pic I have the esc in the same place you do :)
