Bell 206B-3 for X-Plane v8

updated 3/4/06 for v8.40b3 - flight model tweaking, removed the artificial stability cheats. 

The panel has been optimized for VFR flight, visibility has been maximized as much as possible while trying to keep the gauges useable. As such it's minimally equipped as well.
