The helicopter was substantially damaged at 16:35 CDT (Central Daylight Time) on October 19, 2007 at Morrison, Gasconade County, Missouri, (at approximate coordinates 38'52.0278"N, 91'62.8611"W) following a loss of control while landing. The accident occurred during an off airport landing on uneven, soft terrain in gusty wind conditions. The pilot set the back of the skids down and was lowering the nose when the helicopter rocked "deeply" forward, then back and to the left. The helicopter then rolled over coming to rest on its left side. The pilot reported the local winds were at 15 knots, gusting to 25 knots.
Probable Cause: Loss of control on the ground due to aircraft control not being maintained by the pilot. Contributing factors were the gusting winds and the uneven ground.
