I have as well. He or she can fly, and the weight is really minimal so weight transfer around the center of lift isn't too extreme, nor is settling with power too much as issue. I flew 206's in flight school and spent a lot of time in tactics training in that regime.
The helo is in the dead man's curve at the pick and drop, probably why they accelerate in the transit.
I've done dumber, but preferred to have a second engine. Makes me sad I'm flying a desk.
Edit: Just watched the in cockpit video: Only one pilot, convex mirror at the pedals, no door, gets through trans lift quickly...jealous.
