Nice work, I always loved the thought of working with choppers for hoisting until I actually had to do it. Helicopter pilots around here are super anxious people, they wont even hover for more than a few seconds.

We have had to use a chinook sky crane a couple times to set large air handlers, looked bad ass but god was it nerve wracking

Does that make sense?
That does make sense. I've never been in a helicopter and on second thought about it you're right..."struggling" would seem to be a sign of impending disaster
