I see what you mean, but the English language is a very foreign one, for most Italians older that ~30. Back home in Austria proficiency in English was mandatory in primary school as early as 1973 (at least in my 4th grade) and after the age of 10 it is on par with German and mathematics.

Appr. 1988 I accompanied my then boss to a trip to an Italian electronic bill board manufacturer to discuss technicalities. We did not speak Italian, the engineer did not understand German and the translateress had absolutely no knowledge about electronics. A very long and bits per second wise slow conversation ensued

Back on topic:
The part that makes a CH7 interesting is it runs on pump gas. So if it were legally considered to be a PPL(H) heli, one could do the bigger part of the pesky 180(?) h PIC time requirement for a CPL in a very cost effective way.
