With decent lift (important), the ODR should fly inverted indefinitely.
Generally speaking, for an *average* setup, you should need about 1/4 to 1/2
forward stick.

First item: Be sure your lift was really decent. Lots of guys don't have a
decent slope in their area, have NEVER seen decent slope lift and simply
assume what they have is OK.

Second item: The most important aspect to consider is decalage. This is the
difference in angle between the wing and the tail. Because the wing and tail
sit right on the fuse, I don't think you could get the decalage that far
off. However, I'd guess that the tail would easier to change than the wing.
Thus, I'd start there.

What should the decalage be? Beats me. I could only guess. OK, fine; I'll
guess. I guess 2 degrees, your mileage will vary.

Bottomline Guess: Your description sounds like the plane is nose heavy. But,
it is puzzling that you say it's nearly neutral in pitch.
