A circle and a loop are probably the same to your average terran muppet.

Very sad - although I'm not a particular fan of helicopters, every time I drive past the Rotorlift site I admire their setup. Wonder what went wrong.

Lots of murmurings about a jack stall. The loop could have been the pitch up, right roll then severe nose down that's been described as sometimes happening in squirrels when they get hydraulic failure.
