Default inverted hover help please

Well fellas, I just cannot do the inverted thing for nothing. To put this in perspective, I am trying on the simulator with a Blade CP Pro. I just don't know what to do next. I can get inverted but my helicopter keeps slowly sinking to the ground. I am sure that there is something I am missing. Can somebody explain the procedure please.

What sim are you using? Are you going to idle up 1 or 2? You need more neg pitch if it won't hover upside down. Try it with a different heli.

FLYBOY:: ... You need more neg pitch if it won't hover upside down ...
On the other hand, if too much negative pitch at hover, the engine might be loaded too much and the RPMs might be decreasing ... in which the "helicopter keeps slowly sinking to the ground."

Thanks guys. I sat there last night after I asked this question and figured that it can only be one thing that I was not doing. I was over looking the fact that I was not inputing enough neg pitch. In idle up I just did not pull the stick down enough. Now I can hover inverted. It ain't pretty. But, I can do it. Thanks alot.
