Default inverted with a blade cp?

hello everyone,
i was doing loops and crashed 2 out of 5. and i decided, wat the heck, and want to learn to hover inverted. i don't have a sim or anything, only 14yo. the blade cp was my first heli. can do everything with it upright, got a futaba 7c, lipo and bh upgrade...
ok, so i decided, hmmmmm, i dont have the $$$$ to try it out in real knowing that i would DEFINITELY crash, so... i made an X with zip ties across the skids, and hung it to the ceiling. i first initialed the gyro while upright, and then hung it upside down. i spooled it up on normal and then flipped it up to idle up 1. it was doing ok... then, as i add negative pitch, the heli starts to jump up and down, more negative, faster jumps, i didnt go any futher than that and took it to thorttle hold.
so... why is it jumping up and down as i add negative? (not sure if i'm in negative, or still in the positive range, if that's the case, then reducing positive) how might i learn to fly inverted? i will be getting a bigger bird sometimes after the winter (if no good deal shows up in my lhs 2nd handed)(probably a trex). should i learn to go inverted on that bird? i do find that rudder is reversed and can really mess me up. dont have a hh on my blade. anyone here learnt to go inverted with a blade and not a better heli?


ANY suggestion is appreciated.
