Switched from manual tag lines to radio control on a job in Houston last month

I used to always have a guy on the ground with a tag line for every pick, but on a tight site near downtown Houston last month, we didn't have room for that. Got the crew boss to let me try a radio control setup for the hoist and it cut our positioning time by almost half on a 12-hour day. Has anyone else made the swap and found it messes with your feel for the load?

Did the lag actually make you more cautious about how you handle the load at first, or just take some getting used to?

Did the lag in response time mess with your ability to stop a swing before it started?
