With regards to your “opinion”, in essence all you are saying is that a €4m machine should do one or the other thing better than a €400k machine. Who would argue with that? But not very original neither.
I don‘t compare Turbine with piston.
The question was Cabri or R22 for further training.
And I would go for the Cabri cause it gives you more fun, due to a greater movement envelope available, giving you more reserves in turbulent condotions or when you need to avoid a bird/ other aircraft seen late i.e.
Evenso I haven‘t flown a Cabri yet, I‘m following its development for quite a while, actually from before cerification - and I would jump into a Cabri without hesitation. But wouldn‘t do a ride in an R22, even when free.
