Looping and rolling a helicopter puts high stresses on the tail boom and drive shaft - the TR gearbox and hub are big lumps of metal on a long moment arm from the aircraft C of G. Without a g-meter fitted you have little idea what you are doing to the rest of the aircraft.

Could it do it? Sure.

Should it? ........
