I also had IB42's in the back as opposed to the lighter Lipo's but it still nose dived like mad??

Any idea's
Throttle control?

Power on over the jump will keep the nose up. Lifting off will make it nosedive.

If confidence is the issue as you mention - attack the jumps - keeping the nose up will keep your head up.
