Accident Summary:

 THE PILOT WAS HOVERING THE AIRCRAFT AND HE MADE SEVERAL TURNS TO THE RIGHT AND DETERMINED THAT THE TAIL ROTOR WAS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, BECAUSE IT REQUIRED TOO MUCH RIGHT PEDAL TO HOVER THE AIRCRAFT INTO THE WIND. THE PILOT MOVED THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE RAMP AND INTO A GUNSHIP L SHAPED REVETMENT. AFTER SETTING THE AIRCRAFT DOWN WITH MINIMUM BEEP HE ROLLED THE THROTTLE OFF TO FLIGHT IDLE, AND THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT SWUNG TO THE RIGHT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE REVETMENT AND THE PILOT ROLLED ON THROTTLE AND SIMULTANEOUSLY PULLED PITCH. THE TAIL BOOM STRUCK THE END OF THE REVETMENT JUST FORWARD OF THE SYNC ELEVATOR. THE PILOT MOVED THE AIRCRAFT TO THR RIGHT REAR AND SET IT DOWN WITH NO FURTHER DAMAGE.\\
