When inverted:

Coming toward yourself push the nose the direction you want it to go.

Going away from yourself push the tail the direction you want it to go.

Eventually; you'll not have to think about it anymore.

Warren- is that a Kaos in your avitar?

I am learning inverted harriers too- my left thumb is sadly deficient! Not to mention the guidance system[&:] Simulators help me alot for stuff like this.

You're not alone !!! The inverted harrier is killing me, so far about 3 airplanes. After I try a few times I wonder if I am even coordinated enough to walk.

Its just practise. The simulator is really useful for this.

I have been doing inverted straight & level, pull up into vertical and an inverted stall turn (ie belly towards you) then back accross inverted again. It has improved my rudder controll inverted by huge amounts, but still not confident enough to try inverted harrier yet other than on the sim.

I thought the rudder stick was just a "thumb rest" when flying and only for use on the ground?

I could be wrong...

Just kidding.

This weekend I was having a blast with my Venus doing knifedge passes and figure 8s around the field.
