Flew the 412 and Dauphin during the selection for DHFS. Although the D is a great bit of kit to waz around the sky, it's got no room in the back and not much in the front. Wheels also a bit small for Cyprus rocks. OK for Baywatch, but not much else. 412 on the other hand, feels like a 'proper' heli, whatever that is. With glass cockpit a 4 axis AP, I would think it would do fine.
