Here I am!
It was several years ago that I flew the prototype HeliSAS on an R-44. It was a substantial improvement in stability in the cruise and even in the hover.
It didn't have any autopilot features, but such a system has been easily adapted to that on the Bell 206. Not expensive from what I understand, and certainly a life-saver in an inadvertant IMC encounter.
