Narrative:
A student pilot started on a solo flight from Speyer Airfield (EDRY), Germany. At a height of 50-100 meters, there was a loss of engine power. The helicopter touched dow hard and rolled over about 15-20 meters from the runway in the grass.
The trainee pilot was uninjured.

Conclusions:
The accident, the loss of control of the helicopter in the initial climb to impact, was due to faulty coordination between engine power demand and control inputs with the pedals for torque compensation about the vertical axis.
A contributing factor was probably the selected flight profile, deviating from the flight manual, with simultaneous excessive demands of the student pilot in solo flight.
