The technique about hovering to the deck edge that Gomer Pylot described worked pretty well in the 214ST.
In the 76, I found that for a gross weight takeoff into the wind a little trick about the pedals. If your hover was near 100% torque over the deck, reposition to the deck edge with the nose 10-20 degrees left of the wind line. Set the AC back down and lower the collective to eliminate rotor wash. When ready, pull collective to 100% and as the AC lifts and the nose goes forward, feed in a little right pedal and pull more torque, still not exceeding 100%. Now the caveat. This technique is not for someone new to the aircraft. Needless to say, you screw it up and you will probably overtorque the transmission. Practice when light and work your way up on the loads as you get comfortable.
