Default Knife Edge / CofG Effect

I've just moved the CofG back quite a way on my 3D foamy as it required a LOT of down elevator in inverted flight compared to my other planes and suddenly since then where knife edge used to require no elevator and was "sweet" to fly around the field it now pulls quite heavily towards the undercarriage in knife edge and needs up elevator to compensate.
Is this normal / can anybody explain to me why that should happen ?
