I had a parachutist jumping from an Enstrom for a TV commercial shoot. He had to do 3 jumps to get the required shots and angles.

He was able to repack his parachute and get back to the chopper faster than i could get the rotten thing restarted - hot engine restarts are not the Enstrom's forte.

Didn't enjoy the Enstrom, but at least the rotor system had a reasonable amount of control power to counter the rolling as he stepped off the skids.
