Narrative:

While giving a demonstration flight in the hughes 269 300C, we did a cyclic climb to 100 ft MSL, leveled out, and began a descending turn to the right. As we came down, I ran out of collective, so I put in forward left cyclic as the helicopter struck the ground on the right skid. We flew the skip back to the hangar to check for damage. At this time, damage has not been determined since the hughes dealer hasn't looked at it yet.
