Mmmm.....

B206 are easier to fly without the boosted pedals. The "boost" makes them too sensitive in my opinion.....
Actually the problem with the over sensitive 'boosted' T/R on the 206 was with the mechanic who did not read the Bell M&O with regard to setting the correct friction preload ... this often happened because not all 206A's had the boosted T/R (S/n 409 onwards for a few a/c seems to stick in my memory for some reason) as a result quite a few did not know you had to adjust the pedal friction block (located in the panel just below the landing light) after certain maintenance inspections ... this friction adjustment was of course not necessary on the non boosted a/c which were in the majority thus many engineers did not even realise it was necessary ... it really made all the difference to the feel.
