    I added some elevators at the back of the engine runners and that helped the pitch, also adding some ballast to the back so the center of mass wasn't so far from the center of lift. The biggest issue is that there is just not enough wing area for this thing to fly, at 400+ mph it still looses altitude. add some wing area in around the cockpit to help that. As for the Roll, the farther you can get your ailerons from the center of your plane the more effective they will be, same goes for elevators, its all about leverage. All your control surfaces are right in the center which is why you are having issues. Hope this helps, Keep Building!
