You may want to try setting the twist to zero for both the wing and mstab. This makes the inverted maneuvers as easy as the normal maneuvers and reduces the tendency to immediately snap roll when inverted and adding down elevator to climb inverted.
It is great fun to roll inverted soon after lift off and climb out inverted. Takes gentile control movements though. From KSFO, I flew inverted to the Golden Gate and still inverted flew under the bridge and then into an inverted loop. Another challenge, after take-off and initial climb out to about 500 ft, roll inverted, turn back and fly down the runway inverted at about 50 ft. Climb inverted to about 1500 ft, pull the power and ease back on the stick to do the 2nd half of a loop to the runway and land. With the patch, this is not that difficult. Even easier with the twists set to zero. Nice to have a really aerobatic AC in FlightGear!
