The helicopter departed Bankstown Airport on a local training flight. On board were an instructor and student. The instructor proceeded to demonstrate the recovery from low main rotor RPM in the hover. During the demonstration, the helicopter began to rotate to the left. The instructor opposed the rotation with full right pedal control, however the rotation could not be countered and the helicopter landed heavily. The helicopter sustained minor damage and the instructor and student vacated the helicopter without injury.
