I skimmed through most of the posts on this topic, so forgive me if I repeat information previously given. When turning, don't forget the effects of wind. When turning downwind, you will typically need more elevator to keep the plane level due to the loss of lift on the wing from the downwind effect. When turning into the wind, you will tend to climb due to the increased amount of air over the wind, causing more lift. This will vary greatly depending on a number of things that include, but are not limited to: wind velocity, crosswind or down the runway direction, your airspeed vs windspeed, shape of your wing, size of your wing, size of your control surfaces, etc. It's the same in a full size airplane, and it all takes practice practice practice. A good instructor is the best tool you have for being successful. Don't be afraid to change instructors if there is a communication problem. Some people just talk a different language than others... or so it seems.
