No it was a stock 205, single hyd, 205 blades but -17 though. Fast-Fin, strake kit and all were not invented yet.
Ugly for sure with nobody in the left seat but not to long after that video was taken the left seat came out to save weight. I needed those extra pounds.
Sasless, Topendtorque, there is NO Retreating Blade Stalls in those videos, just simple LTE.
The banking angle you see on the Att Ind after I enter LTE is me reacting to the LTE by moving away from the mountain and trying to get some speed. You can't just hover there OGE pulling torque with full left pedal, it won't come out of it, when it goes you go with it.
