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.

For us ground dwellers it seems that they are flippant about it, but I would say they are just confident.

It doesn’t matter if the aircraft is empty, or at max allowable gross-weight, from outside the aircraft will never look as though “it is struggling”.
Does that make sense?
