Default Newbie Hovering Question

Im trying to hover an electric airplane called the Mini laser 3D. Most of you are probably familiar with its bigger brother the Laser 3D. I have my elevator setup with 45 degree throw each way. But in hover I dont seem to have enough elevator. Could this be a symptom of a bad CG? I have it set at 40%. I can hover and torque roll quite well in G2, but I realize in real life things will be much different.

I have one more question, in knife edge the nose always wants to pull left or right.. I cant remember which. I read somewhere that you could get rid of this by tuning the angle of your ailerons. Which way would I move the ailerons if the nose is rising (going towards the canopy)?
Thanks,
touser
