Default Trainer Knife Edge

I have a Alpha 60 (RTF version, so it has the evo .61) I want to be able to do a knife edge. I've practiced on my simulator, and today I went out to try it. I would roll it over, then hit opposite rudder, and the rudder would only lift it up a bit, but the plane was still angled down and losing altitude. Is there a way to help my knife edge by like changing the CG or anything (im on the lowest throw for rudder, so obviously next time ill go up one hole). But other than rudder throw, is there anything i can do. Or of course. you can just tell me a knife edge isnt really a trainer type maneuver, but i love how they look, and i really want to be able to do one.
