Thank you Lord S-M
Something else to try. These kind of suggestions are probably what I need. Physically I'm not a natural flyer, I have to pay careful attention to what I'm physically doing with my limbs in order to do what I ned to do up there.
For example once I realised that I had a habit of leaning forward in my seat when doing steep turns, I understood that this was what was making me inadvertently push the nose down.
Now I know this I make a conscious effort to relax back in my seat and my steep turns are fine.
