C-FUEQ, a privately owned Bell 206 belonging to Produits forestiers Donohue inc., was carrying out maintenance work at the Dubray tower (coordinates 510643N/715418W). The pilot landed approximately 150 ft from and 30 ft lower than the tower, on a small road and in between guy lines. Instead of conducting a cross-wind takeoff at 90°, the pilot decided to take off as much into the wind as possible in order to avoid turbulence. The aircraft climbed to about 20 ft before starting its flight, at which time it struck a guy line approximately 30 ft above the ground. The pilot immediately landed in the same spot from which he had just taken off. A rotor blade cut the guy line about 8 inches from the tip of the blade and the tips of both rotor blades broke. No other part of the helicopter was damaged.
