DB6, I think it is probably the fact that the inverted stall speed is higher than the normal upright stall, due to wing section, PE`s etc. Worth checking in a loose formation at different IAS`s with another aircraft as to what your inverted IAS`s are vs normal upright speeds.It may also be that there is insufficient `down` elevator at lower speeds to give a clean `break`to initiate an inverted entry.. Syc.
