The 'S' key should work. Possible reasons why it doesn't:
  • You clicked on the Deploy Direction button on the elevons in the SPH and switched it to Inverted.
  • The cockpit or control point is upside down.
  • Aerodynamics of the plane are off. CoM moves as fuel gets consumed. And maybe you just didn't have enough lift to keep the nose up.

Put your pitch controls at the back or front of the craft. Don't put them on your wings unless the rear edge of your wing is at the back of your craft.

Angled wings near the CoM are often the culprit for this result.

At very high speeds even advanced canards fail to interact efficienly with the airstream. Use Veronor engines instead.
