'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

That is amazing, in so many ways.
You'd have to match the Cessna's aerodynamic surfaces with its sling attitude.
And helo airspeed would be critical, wonder how long it took to fly out?
So easy to get it all wrong, as the linked tale describes.

The mighty B3 Squirrel can lift anything. Yep, you'd want to set a pretty low load VNE and strap something to the wings to kill the aerofoil alright.
