But this helicopter belongs to the ultra-light and experimental categories so I don't understand the title of this thread except that the OP is a 100% basher about a model (G2 in this case), an attitude he criticizes in some members of the forum ...
.
Actually, the only "bashing" of the Cabri I do is about its price,...cannot comment (or "bash ") its performance because I cannot see a reason to pay $105 more to fly it!
If you want me to pay more than an R22, you have to give me something for that extra cash. With the R44 I get two additional seats plus R44 hours, which can (and did) lead to a low time pilot job.
With this Zefhir, if I have to pay more, at least I'm getting turbine hours which can lead to an entry-level turbine job in the Grand Canyon,...if I ever desired one.
Paying more to fly the Cabri gets me nothing!
,...anyway, its a new and modern two-seater with a better engine,...hence the title!
