You say the R22 is a Bit*h to carry out an EOL, this depends on your experience in the machine. Crazy as it sounds i would much prefer an real engine out in an r22 than a 206 due to well over a 1000 hours plus i have in the 22 with only 60ish hours in the bell. This also goes for the 44 which i have several hundred hours in, including many EOL's i still prefer the 22 skidding down the field
Now where did i put my marbles???????????????????????????????
Back to the question, after many years skipping round EOL's in the 22 i now do them all the time in even in light winds subject to weight of cause.
