The 407 was a great improvement to the Long Ranger, especially compared to the original 206L we had with the C20 engine and water/methanol injection.

The exhaust from the water meth smelled sweet, but the exhaust from the 407 made my eyes water, it stung for some reason - incomplete burning of the fuel or something? No other aircraft has affected me like that.
