Bellfest,
In these days of composites and light weight ceramics, this state of the art rotorcraft will will no doubt be able to handle the loads placed on the tail boom. When the winch is being used it disables the Hellifires, if you need them in a hurry the PIC needs to decide what they are willing to risk more, the aircraft and it's occupants or the politician's daughter on the end of the cable!
