The pilot reported that he completed a preflight inspection, then departed on a local personal flight. During the flight, he contacted and invited three people for a local sightseeing flight. He estimated the weights of each passenger and believed the helicopter would be under the maximum gross weight for the passenger flight. The pilot loaded the heaviest passenger up front and the other two in the rear seats. During takeoff, as he applied throttle and collective the helicopter became light on its skids and all engine indications were normal. Immediately after the helicopter became airborne, it pitched nose down and accelerated forward. Despite subsequent control inputs, the pilot was unable to arrest the helicopter’s forward motion and descent, which resulted in the main rotor blade and right skid contacting the ground. The helicopter came to rest on its right side, and the main rotor blades, fuselage, and tailboom were substantially damaged during the accident sequence.

The pilot reported that before departing for a local flight, he repositioned the helicopter to the fuel station. While preparing to refuel, the pilot discovered the fueling hose was too short to reach the helicopter. The pilot instructed the passenger to exit the helicopter so he could reposition it closer to the fuel pump. After lifting into a low hover, the helicopter turned, and the main rotor blades struck a tree. The helicopter then impacted a second tree. The pilot maneuvered the helicopter away from the fuel station, landed hard, and the helicopter rolled onto its side. The helicopter sustained substantial damage to the tailboom and main rotor blades.
