Can you do a full loop in a helicopter? How fast do you need to be going?

I'm not shooting for the $25; I just want to know.

It wouldn't be a very well rounded loop, but you can turn 360 degrees around the pitch axis at a constant heading. The flight path would be really compressed once you got 90 degrees up and you'd lose a ton of altitude by the time you got it back around to level, so it wouldn't look great.
