Default U can Do 3D .60 size

guys I have a .60 U can do and I have a few questions that is really getting to me. When I land the airplane it feels like it is real tail heavy. The nose wants to pitch up when it gets slow, but in inverted flight there is very little down elevator. then on the upline it tracks pretty straight, but then when I stop it and bring it to a hover it needs a lot of up elevator and lots of right rudder. Its hard to get it locked in. I also have the .46 size and it is real easy to get locked into the torque roll. also there does not seem to have a sweet spot with high alpha. it porpouises on the elevator and falls out very easily on a wing. the .46 did not have these tendencies at all. I keep thinking its tail heavy but certain things tell me its not, like inverted flight. Does anyone have any suggestions. this thing is screwing with my mind.

Thanks,

Pete

By the way it has an os 91 fx in it with all 8611 servos. I know they are overkill but I had them around.

pete cg should be between 5 and 5.5, anything over this and it flairs easy and lands hard like you are talking about, and sounds like you need to add the 3 degrees of right thrust that is needed for that straight upline your not getting. and is your tank over cg? if not that will help also.
