Default MCPX Inverted

So I've had my mCPX for about six months. I've done a lot of flying and crashing and put in a lot of simulator time. I'm trying to make the jump to inverted flight which I'm very comfortable with in the sim but don't seem to be able to get IRL.

The main problem as far as I can tell is that the tail rotor doesn't have enough authority to keep the heli from spinning out when I'm inverted. Do I need a remote that allows me to tweak the pitch curves to get this to happen (I'm currently using the DX4e that comes with the RTF package)?

My other thought was that I didn't have enough negative pitch and so I was pushing the motor too hard when upside down. I tried adjusting the servo arms for a more balanced pitch profile (equal positive and negative) but that seems to have made it hard to just hover because of the throttle being so close to 100% and inverted seems to have the same issue (for the few seconds I've held it there before spinning out and crashing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.
