TOP 10 FEATURES OF THE CABRI G2

[@Killian665]

After learning in an R22 I really wanna fly one of these. This looks like the perfect personal helicopter too.

[@BronxLens]

Video request: What’s in the 72 Hrs. Survival bag?!

[@trevorbacelli]

Yes a great little Helicopter, Safety features & Design, I can see why you have bought this Cabri 2, Cheers & Best Wishes Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.

[@MichaelHeliGuy]

I am training in the G2 and have about 42 hours. I weigh over 220lbs, which isn't a problem in the G2. Also, there's a bit more shoulder room. The three bladed rotor system is very forgiving in an autorotation and you never have to worry about mast bumping.

[@johnlutz6286]

Love the 3 BLADE AWESOME. NO GREASE BEAUTIFUL HELICOPTER

[@leonardodivinci804]

Mountain pictures are great and you guys are great, but this kind of technical is the real meat for your followers. Thanks as always.

[@giovannivici1855]

So nice heli!

[@can5projects563]

my favorite has to be the seats, the glass display, the whole thing it's just amazing i love that machine

[@pilotpeego1820]

My favorite feature is the tail rotor. Very cool looking for a small heli. 👍

[@stachowi]

get that turbine look without the operating costs!

[@mindlessconsumer]

You are a shrewd salesman, sir.

[@markcarter2467]

For me, who is currently undergoing training on the G2, I think it is the ease of learning to fly and general safe handling characteristics that are its best features and make it the obvious choice.

[@MerlinMoorlo]

ohmy god man its amazing Heli! One day i will have it too)

[@JustinHorrell]

Yew! Cabris are just incredible. Thanks Mischa!!!

[@onajet1]

Crush seats!! Awesome

[@PaoloCaglioLMT]

Dick Tejano yay lets try!

[@pstreaks]

Neat lil helicopter. Love the tail rotor

[@ottohoel5150]

Great video. Love the Cabri.

[@gordongray2711]

Favourite feature, digital electronics..!

[@can5projects563]

awesome looking machine.

[@peterrowcliffe747]

i like all of the G2 its just one of the very safe and low running cost modern helicopter and the sound's like a eurocopter and really cool aircraft so 10 of 10 for the G2 but i also have had training in both a 300cbi and enstrom fx280 so all 3 of my fav helicopters

[@mixed_by_pgee]

My favorite feature is the whole helicopter with all it's features. This machine is awesome! (I have screenshotted many of your Instagram pictures of the Cabri to make a good wallpaper slideshow on my computer 🤩 Thanks!)

[@robertharper6034]

My favorite is the digital instrument panel providing easy to read helicopter performance.

[@jimiemick]

The crash attenuating seats are my favorite thing. Safety is key! And I think from memory the G2 in testing during autorotation the max vertical drop was 1700ft/m !?!?!? Happy to be corrected though. The G2 is great. Spent a lot of time around one. Only have .6hrs on them (140hrs in Robinson’s) Hopefully Robinson follow with some new added features like Cabri

[@Novadean1]

Hi have learned in Bell 47 / the G2 is a very big different jump up been in Germany in a G 2 for 1/2 hour absolute impressed my safety Pilot was showing me all you able to fly with G 2 a full 90 degree dive Bell 47 would drop in part's ! Thanks Micha appriciate kipe your work up Stunning.

[@Novadean1]

My faver ? The Hub amazing

[@Novadean1]

As well love the Stick in the shopper not really the bicycle Frame !

[@Matthew-lv2bg]

Great video, I cant stress how great the entire main display, especially the FLI is if you plan on flying turbines afterwards. Did my PPL on a G2 and then straight to an EC120 and being used to the limit indication, as well as somewhat limited power was great. Also, for some reason, instructors seem to be much more willing to do full down autorotations in the G2, which just adds that bit of confidence when flying alone, knowing you have practiced all the way to the ground.

[@MichaelHeliGuy]

How was it flying the EC120 after the G2? I've been looking at the EC120 as a transition in the future.

[@Matthew-lv2bg]

@@MichaelHeliGuy The transition in terms of handling differences was fairly smooth for me. There is the obvious stuff of a bigger, longer machine, so you have to think more about avoiding a tail strike in autorotations. Everything is hydraulic, which means the controls feels very light, but you get used to it after a while and its very comfortable. The two main differences I think one should note is the star-up procedure and power limitation. As with any non-FADEC turbine, you have to watch out for a hot start, but that is really a matter of getting used to it and not rushing through the start-up too quickly. As for the power limitation - I am quite a big guy, which means I learned to fly at the 92-100% torque mark very quickly. This is EXTREMELY usefull in the EC-120 especially, as when high and hot, and loaded with fuel and 3 people, it takes some skill to get flying and not over-torque the transmission. However, I wouldnt let the 'the EC-120 is underpowered piece of shit' crowd ruin your day at all - it is an amazing machine to fly and you dont really push its power limits unless with 4 large adults on board and full fuel. If you do go for it, you will have loads of fun.

[@crazygamingyt7245]

The g2 is getting old since it’s release in 2008

[@joentexas]

Numero Uno, crash seats. Thanks.

[@bourdon845]

Cool

[@mgnn5100]

Love your videos, to the point and really great

[@axelram5510]

The 3 Rotor blade system.🚁

[@guzgilg]

Great stuff! Thank you

[@pwatom22]

What a great small helicopter. Like a mini as350? Rotor head. No excuse risking your life in an r22 now.

[@brianb-p6586]

Yes, like an AS 350, although the AS 350 rotor head is a Starflex and this has been described as a Spheriflex (which is another Airbus design used on larger helicopters). It looks like a Starflex to me.

[@BenA-bu1cz]

Damm, that is amazing.

[@jcnme2020]

Love All your videos Brother

[@downsouth5971]

I would like the Price. This guy could Sell a fridge to an Eskimo. He Sold me on this copter. Well done, my friend.

[@abvmoose87]

I really like the crash zone below the seats, they should make that a mandatory standard on all helicopters.

[@ictpilot]

Robinson has that.

[@abvmoose87]

@@ictpilot Cool, thanks for sharing that. Does both the 22 and the 44 version have it?

[@ictpilot]

Awesome. Been waiting for a new video.

[@TL98765]

Great Video!

[@MicahMuzio]

Great video! I’ve only flown a Cabri once but really liked the experience. One question. Any issues with the comparatively low rotor height? I’d be a bit concerned exiting the Cabri with the blades spinning.

[@farmgene]

Nice!

[@knife-wieldingspidergod5059]

Nice, but still can't beat the charm of the Kamov Ka 26 helicopter.

[@themendotaranch]

Will there ever be a G4 or a four place ?

[@tonysilverfox2828]

The Mendota Ranch a 4 seater would be Very popular

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

No competes with airbus/eurocopter stuff ,but would be cool to have a baby turbine one

[@adamross2256]

I flew with Silver State Helicopters back in 2008, but haven't been up since the school filed for bankruptcy. After watching these vids, I've been interested in trying to get back into it again (at least with one of those 'intro flights'), but I /really/ want to fly the Cabri. Doesn't look like there are any in the Atlanta area (closest seems to be at a school down in Macon).

[@jimrogers907]

Good to have the additional details on overhauls vs. Robinson. Makes them pretty attractive, especially for lower use private individuals. Any rumors on a G5 (4 or 5 seat version)?

[@jimrogers907]

I wonder if this is a teaser or a typo: cabri-usa.com/slide5/

[@corsa-z06]

How does it perform in high altitudes? Need something to fly in Colorado high country.

[@indyjons321]

My biggest question is, what are the manuals like for Maint. and how is the support?

[@rodrigollcarreira]

Amazing helicopter! We just received our G2 here in Brazil, but we are having issues. Maybe you could help. Im afraid that our engine is not working at max pwr. For exemple, during the startup and hover, our MLI is on FLO and not PWR. Is this normal? I see in your videos tha you fly pretty good on the mountains, so i dont think the altitude is a problem. We are at 3000ft above sea level here, and it is quite hot now during summer, about 30ºC at midday. Thank you!

[@PilotYellow]

Rodrigo Lemos yes at 3000’ on a warm day you will definitely be in FLO mode. We usually hit FLO mode around 1800’ on a warm day.

[@HeliHolic]

WOW Mischa, Amazing video. You make understanding these features so simple in the way you explain it. For me my favourite feature would be unobstructed view out the bubble, and how much visibility they have. Along with everything you mentioned I feel soo safe in the stroaking seats also. Love this video

[@ellonysman]

Vskylabs...can you install that dispay unit update into your Cabri payware?

[@suresh1957]

Excellent video where you highlight the safety and the economics of the Cabri helicopter. But how does it stack up against the Robinson though ? Especially when it comes to safety ?

[@gmeast]

Rotor Head! Rotor Head! Rotor Head! Rotor Head! Rotor Head! Rotor Head! Rotor Head! Rotor Head!

[@MSneberger]

3-blade, fully articulated head. I get why Bell stuck with their very proven 2-blade for the 505, but cannot believe the Curti Zephyr went with a 2-blade system on a new design. I would like to be able to fly to Flagstaff in the summer (7,000 feet and up to 100F) so I still think a turbo Enstrom would be my choice, but the Cabri does seem a lot slicker and more modern.

[@WattsUpDev]

That was random, you should articulate your comment so Mischa is aware of what you’re talking about. Hey Mischa have you heard of the new Zefhir from Italy...I can’t believe they used a two blades rotor

[@stephennichols001]

Curious with this being less in the long run why is Robinson still the dominant player in the training market? I would think the G2 is a better investment for a school.

[@tonepilot]

The crash attenuating seats. Safety first.

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

Does it have air conditioning ? Definitely a fan of the 3 blade rotor head

[@crazycanuck2578]

Every feature is great, but, I really like the last one, and the crash attenuating seats which I actually think that every chopper out there should have these kind of seats front and back for your passengers. A 3 week overhaul compared to a 6 month overhaul, you sure can lose a lot of money and a half of a yrs use for the chopper you mentioned in 6 months down time. Today, time is big money especially in the Aviation world. P.S. How much does a Cabri Chopper like the one you own cost to buy???

[@recentlydeleted]

Honestly the Cabri is probably one of my favorite smaller helicopters, and I would agree with every point on here except one. I can't get behind elastomeric bearings. Number one, when something stretches, it generally has more of a chance to break by snapping. There were a number of Enstrom crashes caused by their elastomeric bearings. The FAA ended up grounding all helicopters that had certain types of elastomeric bearings for like a year because they had such a high chance of failing

[@henry2008kim]

But basically spherical elastomeric bearings are safe no? The Enstrom had cylindricals I think..

[@brianb-p6586]

The rotor head design is Bruno Guimbal's implementation of Eurocopter's Starflex/Spheriflex design for a smaller aircraft. This isn't an Enstrom, and whatever Enstrom did poorly with elastomers has nothing to do with a proper rotor head design.

[@ramanandamahakur786]

Which engine is better turbo charged ,jet etc

[@ZubairAhmed-pg2op]

My first choice this aircraft 🚁

[@jerryravenscraft4407]

I weigh 295 , 6 ft 8 inches tall , would that be an issue?

[@eaglezxz3354]

Are there/have there been ground resonance issues with these 3 blades??? Thanx

[@noahpfeifer6931]

No, the Cabri has no ground-ressonance issues, because of the very soft spring of its skids.

[@rsar61]

I have a question about the motor blade life in general on helicopters, 4 years ago I had a medical emergency that required a life flight; I got the bill, for this flight, it said something about the rotor blade life span

[@PilotYellow]

Ryan A really!?!? That seems weird. All rotor blades have different life spans but I don’t understand how that would play into your bill.

[@RootBeerGMT]

Looks far better built than a R22. They will need a 4 seater to be competitive.

[@bloggerfru]

When they make 4 seater cabri?

[@EddieSLX]

I like how it's not a 'it's only a matter of time' R22 widow maker, I'd like to see the G2 take a bigger share of the market and see flight schools phase out the R22 as preferred trainer.

[@step4560]

The G2 might eventually. R22s were never designed to be trainers and they are NOT widow makers if flown within their limitations. Besides Schweitzer's and old 47's, they were a financially attractive option for flight schools in 1980. Technology has changed over 40 years and a two bladed Jet Ranger is still a good machine...

[@ictpilot]

@@step4560 And with Schweitzers you have ground resonance to be aware of.

[@timpearn9383]

Is the cost similar to a Robinson? Also, I noticed a carb heat, Why no fuel injection? Not as safe?

[@crazygamingyt7245]

It’s $408k

[@terryterry1655]

Possible to apply autogas stc on Nreg? Thx

[@nickmosley3238]

My favourite feature is the rotor head design making negative g a non-event. I’ve flown safe and feeling comfy in turbulence in the Cabri that I would be bricking it in an R22 (if in the air at all)

[@DarylRosenberg01]

Whats the per person weight limit on that helicopter to be able to fly for a property day when attending your flight school. I'm a larger person (260 lbs) and currently looking to set a weight loss goal to attend your school. Looking at 240 lb to put a deposit down and 224 (not even sure if that is possible) by the time i'm moving up there.

It's a nice little machine, but two things I really don't like are the incredibly low main rotor system, and a mixture lever which doesn't lock. Had a student nearly catch the mixture with their helmet. They locked the rotor brake but not the mixture. Makes no sense to me.

[@carlosmatos3088]

Cost for thi unit?

[@jeironamobey8136]

10. Im not wealthy yet. I fly r44s and r22s and the overhaul is expensive. I was looking at a rotorway but its not rated.

[@NETBotic]

I fly 2 seat piston airplanes, piles of cash leftover lol.

[@chrischarters376]

My thought exactly. For HPPL

[@orisonsquirrell]

comfort in autorotation depends on the inertia of the rotor..

[@brianb-p6586]

Apparently Bruno Guimbal came up with the Cabri name from an acronym for "Comfort in Autorotation Better with Rotor Inertia"

[@pravinsable4058]

Has very good features ..👍 but it carries only 2 passengers that I don't like . It must be at least 4 ..

[@TimToussaint]

You didn’t mention calendar-time limited parts. Which for the private owner (with low annual utilization) is the even bigger problem. What use is a, say 2,200 HRS governor controller, the f it needs to be replaced after 12 hrs anyway even if only used for 600 flying hours? What are the calendar-limited items on the Cabri G2? Engine. Yes 12 years TBO, bladder tank, seatbelts maybe? What else?

[@umararshad9086]

Price sir ?

[@pistonburner6448]

Why don't basically any manufacturers of such craft offer increased power options? I understand that certification of a higher power mod/version would have a cost, but surely they could price very high as it's not essential but some would pay them those massive profits to have the 'best' version and many just to have the 'safest' version as surely more power gives you more safety in a helicopter like that.

[@joeglennaz]

How much does it cost? To buy it

[@PilotYellow]

Joe Glenn about 330K€

[@florianbauch3581]

@@PilotYellow Great video - again. If the Cabri was 330k€ and a comparable R22 ~250k€ to acquire, would the cost of maintenance make up for it over time? Some say the R22 has the lowest cost of ownership overall which is why it is the best sold 2 seater heli in the world. Would that be a correct statement? Cheers from Germany.

[@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805]

WHY AM I TORTURING MYSELF BY WATCHING VIDEOS OF A HELICOPTER I COULD NEVER AFFORD?!?!

[@JK-rv9tp]

Those 3 items aren't even what you would call life limits. A life limit means a component that hits the limit goes in the garbage. Those are overhaul intervals, or what are called "restoration" intervals in the airline business. In the airline business, life limits generally apply to the root structure of components, like main housings, that can no longer continue due to structural fatigue, determined in endurance testing, so that overhauling or restoring doesn't fix the situation. So I think it's perfectly legit to say the machine has no life limits, and only 3 restoration items. Impressive! And in the event one of the transmissions has a time/hours limit imposed that requires scrapping it, THERE'S your life limit.

[@downsouth5971]

If we say TBO it’s the same thing. You are splitting hairs.

[@JK-rv9tp]

@@downsouth5971 Not at all. End of life means trash bin for the root component. Overhaul means attach new bits to the root component. If the component has no life limit, it can be overhauled forever. If it has a life limit, it has to go in the trash at the life limit. If a tail rotor assembly has an overhaul at 2000 hrs. you can reuse all of the serviceable parts as long as you can bring them into service limits, or new limits if that's the objective. If the tail rotor assembly has a life limit, the hub and blades go in the garbage at the life limit.

I see this being a potential TV News helicopter, and a low-cost, high-quality one at that. Few TV stations have used the Schweitzer 300 for their news helicopters, including NBC affiliate WAFF 48 in Huntsville, AL - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5CtY51va8lpobc. I see that Cabri G2 the same way. For the exterior, perfect for placing the TV station logo. Better than the two standard helicopters for TV news: The Bell JetRanger costs $1.2 million to buy, and the Eurocopter AS350 cost $2.4 million to purchase.
