Inverted flight is pretty straight forward provided you remember that up is down and down is up as far as the model aircraft is concerned. Because your model will be trimmed to fly 'hands off' when right side up, when the aircraft is inverted, it will have less available lift to hold it at the same altitude. This needs to be compensated for by using down elevator to hold the nose up. Maintain the down elevator to hold the inverted attitude and altitude. The amount of down elevator required depends on the aerofoil of your model.

To start, heading into wind with wings level and about half throttle, half roll to inverted and hold the nose up with down elevator. Half roll again to come right way up. Don't recover by half looping, particularly if you're getting into difficulties, as speed will rapidly build up and height will rapidly disappear!
