Helihub is being coy, methinks. I recall Dennis K did an article about the Cabri in Loop, I believe.

There are links to flight test articles in the Guimbal website. Strangely, even though I registered on their site, I cannot get access. My paranoia is under control these days, so I just expect a website cockup. It may be possible to find the articles some other way.

It is early days for the Cabri, but the design features and new certification standard are a good start.

I hope people are right that global maintenance cost will be reduced. An unavoidable extra cost for new helicopters is the effect of a largish hull value on insurance.
