the EC120 will get a bad reputation
We´ll I think it already has a bad reputation
On the 206 models there is a system available that I can not for the live of me remember the name of but it is a kind of a mini-Hums with automatic fuel control that costs $10.000 US (Euro 8.000.-)
It works real good, I used to fly a LongRanger with it. The procedure was to open the throttle to flight idle and then monitor the TOT. The engineers would usually all go out and watch when a new pilot who had newer used the system would do his first start. They usually had a good laugh when he´d get a terrified look on his face when the TOT needle would jump straight up to 790°c and then it would pulsate between 780 and 790° which is a good fast start for the 250 engine.
--Buitenzorg, thanks for the tip, yes it was
Intellistart and I can vouch for that it works very well on the LongRanger.--
