Default Unwanted Yaw In Inverted Flight

50cc Yak 54. CG and thrust seem OK. Gentle downward arc on 45 deg inverted and generally straight vertical climbs. Here's the problem. Full throttle hands-off straight and level flight into the wind. Pull into half loop and fly inverted in the opposite direction and I get a left yaw (left to the ground observer). The only difference I can deduce between upright flight and inverted flight is the angle of attack on the wings and stab. Is this an aileron differential/alignment problem, or maybe elevator alignment? Thanks for any insights.
