Don't forget that both the sling and winch both release together.
Another method is to pick the winch load up first, winch it up to the door and press O the load is placed inside the helicopter. Close the winch door CTRL+U.
Now you can pick up the sling load press O to enable sling pick up the load, take to another location drop the sling load first then open the winch door press O and the load should appear attached to the winch lower to the ground and release object.
