Default SkyFly 2 Issue with Climb

I'm having an issue with my SkyFly 2. I have 18 or so successful fights with it; however recently I'm having an issue where it will not take off from the ground. If I hand launch. It has a tendency to nose dive; however can remain airborne with full up elevator. Even at this turning becomes an issue because it tends to drop even more in the turns. It will climb with the wings level and full elevator, but nothing like my past flights. I have balanced it according to the instructions and if anything has more tail weight. I have replaced the wing and both rear stablizers and still the same issue. I have also checked the motor and the screws where loose; however, this does not appear to fix the issue. Both the rudder and elevator are centered just like the past flights. My past attempt I fixed the elevator about half full up by changing the position on the control rod. This did create a more stable flight; however, I'm looking for a better fix.

I have a lot of time on simulators and do pretty good in the air. I'm working on take-offs and landings and now this issue is driving me nuts. I'm guessing there is a drag some place just don't have any idea where.
