You mean a stall with a left wing drop, I think, not a stall turn.

The "normally docile" 206 is a bit of a different beast when aft loaded at high weight; something I would imagine a skydive-dropper pilot would be well familiar with.

I know of at least one experienced pilot who has been bitten by the low speed handling at high weight/aft c of g.
