Are you flaps also at 0 deg? Hook up your lines and handle. Have someone hold the handle ay 90 deg and look at the flaps again. Are they still at 0, or are they up some? If they are up some like this, then in flight they are trying to push the nose down, which you are countering with up elevator.
If all is good here, then your engine may be pointing a couple degrees down pulling it nose down, which requires up elevator to overcome. It pretty much has to be one of these things IF your lines and leadouts are the exact same length.
