The two cheapest Helicopter comparison Guimbal Cabri G2 vs. Robinson R22

[@brianb-p6586]

The weight comparison at 1:18 is incorrect 700 kg is the *maximum gross* weight of the Cabri G2, but 417 kg is the *empty* weight of the R22. The correct maximum gross weight of the R22 is 621 kg.

From the standpoint of both looks and handling, the Guimbal G2 beats the R22 hands down. The R22 is infamous for its vulnerability to mast strikes in high crosswind conditions that could result in fatal crashes, and for the very precise and light touch needed on the cyclic to keep the craft from becoming unstable. That ungainly tall tower on which the R22 main rotor is perched just looks flimsy and potentially lethal. The more compact stance of the G2 inspires a lot more confidence.

Cruise speed in an r22 is closer to 80/90knots... 110mph is a bit optimistic but closer to the g2s top cruise speed, I think the specs were accidentally the wrong way around!

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

There is a high cost difference but I think the Robbinson blades have much shorter life. The biggest difference is the controls. The Cabri's are xonventional, the robbinsons are horrible, you didn't even cover this.

Number 1, The Robinson was NEVER designed to be a trainer. Frank Robinson himself said he didn't want his helicopter to be used for training. I would choose a Hughes 300 or the Cabri, no question asked. If all their was were the Robinson, I wouldn't be flying helicopters, Fact!!

Excellent video, thanks 👌

[@chippyjohn1]

If you are going to make a video regarding specifications, at least make them accurate.

[@mann2520]

Are they buyable or on sale nearby

[@VaderWhoop]

That depends where you live and of course the video creator can't answer that because they don't know where you live. I would suggest that from your question, you've shown to lack of mental capacity to safely fly a helicopter.

Cabris are for sale with a Dealer in Abbotsford B.C.🇨🇦 USA has dealer Portland Oregon... 🇺🇸

[@manosparavida3551]

Big difference in weight. Does that make the R22 more nimble?

[@VaderWhoop]

Or twitchy...in turbulence. The Robinson collective control design always makes me think some poor cyclist is about to find they're missing some handlebar parts.

[@chippyjohn1]

R22 Gross is 622kg. Video is very inaccurate!

[@manosparavida3551]

@@chippyjohn1 Typical YT alleged expert advice😉

Comparo'z. R AWESOME 👌 👏 👍

[@user-ev2qo1hj1g]

I like the Cabris rotor system and high inertia rotor better

[@downsouth5971]

There is a Utube Video out yesterday entitled Should Robson’s be banned in NZ.

[@setts3]

Okay, there is a slight initial cost difference but the G2 wins by a mile, there really is no comparison, especially when it comes to safety.

[@JetlineMarvel]

Right

[@martyndavid2094]

Go for the conventional cyclic ever time

[@raymond3803]

bad comparison. Cabri G2 vs R44 Cadet Same price. $350,000 Cadet > Cabri Cadet most bang for buck.

[@dirtfarmer65]

But R44 is old school. Cabri is way " better" newer production process..
