Having the ability to hover means you are able to fly as slow as you want, all the way down to zero. As far as practical/operational instrument airspeed It’s aircraft and SOP dependent. We typically flew the approach at 90 KIAS in the H-1. Cruising IFR we’d pull around 120 KIAS. You can fly around at 5 knots if you were so inclined, but there isn’t much utility in it.

Single pilot helo IMC sounds challenging to me.

No mention of the price but it would be a great tool for flight schools.

The payload is special operators, often of the top-tier variety, conducting direct-action ops.

I’ll never forget the time I was flying alone 2000 feet up over Coyote Lake, looking out the open door at my skid, and something touched my arm. Just about jumped out of the bird! I looked over and the seat cushion next to me had come unbuttoned and was floating under the shoulder belts.
That was only a few years ago. Sadly they’re flying Lakotas these days.
