The G depends on what you do, I guess, but I (as a rotary driver) found it relatively benign. The noise was something else: the lovely Merlin howl is more akin to a Fergie tractor inside, and when the battery ran out on the DC ANR headset I found it very, very noisy. Far worse than a day of Helitak with the door off
But I wouldn't have swopped it for all the tea in China
