Sorry to wake you up manfromuncle... maybe I should have said:

More inertia in the blades allows more time than an R22 does to sucessfully enter autorotaion, whilst the practice of quick decision in the R22 is valuable experience, the extra time in the G2 may allow more sucessful decisions to enter auto, of course this is only one aspect of safe flying a heli and pilots should allways considder "Weather, hitting things (the ground, fence posts, trees etc), lack of fuel, lack of carb-heat, lack of power (eg too heavy, downwind), and bad-decision making make up the majority of small helicopter accidents"

Of course the G2 also has auto carb heat, so that's something I'm glad you pointed out.

Many appologies.
