I am really rusty after 3 days of flying before losing my plane at Nats last year. It is taking some time getting used to it and flying in general.
Your symptom statement is a bit confusing. You say you need a lot of elevator to fly level. Are you holding elevator or trimming it in? Up or down? You can't test vertical up, vertical down, and knife edge until you have the plane perfectly trimmed for hand off straight and level, and that means hands off the sticks for the full length of the box. Once you have that, you can get some useful analysis of what happens in the other attitudes.
