Have you exhausted the other option?

Full sized pilots soon learn that to steepen the landing approach you don't push the nose down. Instead you continue to hold a little back stick and reduce power. This works for our models as well.

Get the wing into a high lift and high drag attitude that is near the stall point but not near enough to induce wing drops and such and you'll be surprised at how steep the glide slope becomes. Pushing forward to sort of dive the model to the landing spot in a steep glide slope is the best way to ensure you overshoot or overstress the frame by pushing it onto the deck.

An airline pilot in my club used to preach this method and he was a masterful lander with some tough models. His trick was that the elevator trim was a main flight control. He would use it at least three times during a flight, once at takeoff, once while in the air to play at neutral and finally set it to a nice close to but not dangerously close to stall setting for landing.

And of course this should be practiced at least two mistakes high at first if you're not used to it....
