Heli Nose dive to doom

Hello,
At times, when you put the helicopter in auto at high speeds, it will dive down as apposed to slowing to a stop. This has happened to me and several other players multiple times. It just happened to Val and me. We have lost three days worth of gear and my first M107. If You guys could look into that bug and also give me my items back. I'd be extremely happy! Thanks!
Sincerely,
Oomple

EDIT: Me and Val made it back to the crash to only discover his gear which consisted of his spawn loadout's items. The helicopter was halfway in the hear and you could hear flies near it, I'm assuming my body was stuck inside the hill.
