The normal 206L4 tail rotor is so "underpowered" that at altitude, you can hover 70% Torque with the pedal against the stop, if any light breeze comes from the wrong direction it will just weathervane you into the wind and there will be absolutelly no pedal to stop it from spinning, and no mention of the interesting possiblilites of what could happen when you take off in these conditions.
The 407 on the other hand could probably hover on TR power alone if you could point the thing down!
