As to struggling in the heat I remember a single engined height climb in Tanzania with 5H-MUM.
Geof Croot flying said after a few seconds into the climb "we have established a rate of decent"!!!!!
I flew one as a medevac ship in the Australian desert for a short time (it was a backup ship to a BK117), it felt like it was a flying asthmatic with both engines running.
