The diagram of the disc from above only showed the hover - the 2 circles were concentric. In forward flight, the inner circle moves to the left, and also goes further left with pitch. Too far left, (too fast, too much collective) it is all drag and you lose RRPM in a serious way. Stall flick spin crash burn die.
