The 412 AFCS doesn't really do a good job of anything. It doesn't maintain attitude for very long in cruise, and seemingly wasn't designed to do much of anything in a hover. It's better than nothing, of course, but it's a rather poor system. IME flying against it is an exercise in futility, but you have to keep a very close eye on it at all times.
