Default Trying to bust into 3D

Hey Gang,
Well I've stepped it up. I'm flying a 1/4 scale G-202 (GP, with a OS 1.6FX) pretty proficently now. Upside down rudder turns, Right side up, Knife edge figure 8's, rolling circles, I think I have that all down pat now.
However, I am still unable to do any 3D stuff at all (Everyone asks me to show them some 3D all the time - but I can't! Feel like a slacker LOL). I pull up into a vertical leg and chop the power and try hanging there bouncing the throttle, but nothing. I fall out right away and if I manage to input the correct control throw to keep it in, it just snaps out in the opposite direction.
Is there a logical progression to learning this stuff? Where should I start and how can I tell if the aircraft is capable?
Is it just a matter to keep plugging away at it? I'm sure I have adaquate throws, how long will this take? LOL
