RVDT your comment is spot on I have had 2 ec120 and they are great aircraft set up to do many things, best interior, best luggage,best endurance, smooth flight, but you can't have all of those things at the same time.
If it didn't have a VEMD to tell on you it would be still around. It certainly is not an aircarft for the novice, and needs a thoughtfull pilot skills, almost a bit like flying a R22 ; the wind is your friend. Read the aircraft limits for weight and adhere to them and you will be ok.
