Default Inverted Tip Stall.

Washout is a likely suspect as discussed in the above post. Other possible causes may be related to a lot of taper in the planform and an airfoil with a sharp inverted stall. Airfoils with meanline cambers (as opposed to symmetrical airfoils) need to be flown a lot faster when inverted than when upright inorder to avoid stall.
