What I'm saying is that there is no statistics worth anything concerning the Cabri. There is just no experience.
I have been introduced to Cabri by their Australian reseller and have been impressed by their lack of professionalism. Everything in the discussion was so approximate...
Now regarding Robinson, I learned on R22 and don't fly it anymore. I like the R44, faster than a EC120, better inertia than R22 (easy!), very affordable.
Statistics on R44 are not bad if you remove accidents due to pilot error, cables,... There is the problem of mast bumping specific to two blades helicopters and of course that can't happen on a Cabri. But the R44 is easier to park!
Conclusion is that I would love to see a Cabri 4 seater in the future that would benefit from the experience of the current Cabri. I've read interviews of Mr Guinbal and it looks such project is not even considered.
I think that this company is maybe talented but it lacks of industrial ambition.
