In my GA days found the 206 very reliable and does the job it was designed to do. CG determination was easey: throw all the bums and bags on then push the tail down. If it came back up your home and hosed. If it stayed down, shifting a few slabs of p!ss from the cargo comp into the laps of the pax worked for me.. .. .With the amount of right rudder needed to keep straight it made TOs with strong left XWs a bit tight. I found "milking in" the power till about 40kts on the clock worked best.. .. .The only bitch I had about the thing was its bloodey engine. I could NEVER get a successful hot start first go.
