206 is not good down wind as for the R44 - fly a proper helicopter !!!!!

Seriously, lots of helicopters will run out of rear cyclic, eg Hughes 300 with 2 x 200lb people and less than about 10g of fuel will run out of rear cyclic with 25 kts plus wind in the hover, although weight and balance has to be considered here.
