Default great planes yak 54

i have this airplane:
http://www.greatplanes.com/performan.../gpma1411.html
and i have installed a 35 cc nitro engine in it. glow powered.
plane takes off and lands well. it will do rolls, inverted flight with minimal down elevator, but nonetheless, i have to give it some, OTW, nose will pitch down.
when i attempt to do knife edge flight, it will not do this, it will immediately turn away from bottom of plane.

also, if flying upright, and i use rudder to turn plane, while plane is upright, then it will roll more than yaw.

anyone know what is wrong?
