If the plane loses altitude in the turn, wouldn't you use opposite rudder to keep the nose up? I notice this with the nose trying to drop while in long banked turns with my float plane.
If you are rolling less than 45 degrees, the elevator will/should keep the nose up. If you are rolling much past 45 degrees, I think there's like an aerobatic name for that maneuver and it's in the IMAC schedule, and it does require opposite rudder.

Maybe your plane was nose heavy?
Yeah I make mine a little nose heavy on purpose. It definitely is with a full tank. I don't notice it in any of my other planes really.
