THE PLT STATED THAT HE HAD FLOWN THE ACFT FROM ONE FIXED BASE OPERATOR ON THE ARPT TO ANOTHER TO POSITION THE ACFT. HE STATED THAT HE PUT FRICTION ON THE CYCLIC CONTROL BUT NOT THE COLLECTIVE CONTROL, REDUCED THROTTLE TO FLT IDLE, AND EXITED THE ACFT. HE WAS WALKING TO THE HANGAR TO GET A PORTABLE LANDING DOLLY WHEN HE SAW THE ROTOR DISC TILTED FWD AND THE ACFT SHAKING; HE RAN AWAY, THE ACFT ROLLED OVER.
