The pilot explained that while cruising at a height of about 1,000 feet, he saw a glider landing in a field. He approached and descended near it. At a height of about two meters, while in translation, the helicopter tilted forward and the main rotor blades hit the ground. The helicopter tilted to the left side and collided with the ground. The pilot stated that the helicopter was close to its maximum allowable weight, and that there was no decrease in engine speed before impact.
The glider seen by the pilot was a scale model with a wingspan of about one and a half meters.
