New training helo

Has anyone seen the new 300CBi that Schweizer has introduced?

Here's 2 press release links, one introducing the new model, and the other indicating the first shipment of the new helo to the UK.

The main new features include a fuel injected engine, and AES (Automatic Engagement System), which is a computer controlled device for startup overspeed protection, automatic rotor engagement, and low RPM warning sytem. It's described in the link below.
