Question 2 New Light Helicopters

Hi folks,

Has anybody got an info (specs/photos/weblinks) to the two new 2-seat light helicopters listed below.

The Guimbal Cabri G2
French Company, Owned by Mr Bruno Guimbal, based in Marseille. Helicopter first flew in '92, is Lycoming Powered with a 3-bladed elastomeric MR & Fenestron TR. Max speed is a whopping 159mph (apparently). Bruno Guimbal is ex-Eurocopter.

The Polish IS-2
Again 2-seats, three-MR-blades, ducted fan TR, sleek composite airframe. Lycoming powered - but a bit slow at 108 mph.

Any info would be most helpful.

Cheers
CRAN


PS: The only link I have found so far is on the avia.russia web site for the gimbal - a google search for Guimbal Cabri G2 gets you to that.
