I'm not a fan of carburator equipped engines in aircraft either and never understood nor will understand why Bruno put one in the G2.
Frpm what I have heard he decided to do so cause a lot of pilots/flight instructors asked him to do so.
The argument was that the carburator equipped engine starts a lot easier (Personally I disagree on that one).
As far as the the zero G cuts are concerned, you really have to push it over and hold it there for a loooooong time before you get even close to cut off the engine. Not a manoeuver you want to show any of your students or to any other kind of spectators.
The Cabri is a great machine to fly with and for x-mas I want one with a fuel injector.

Heli Aviation (Germany) takes delivery of its eighth Cabri G2 !
Shouldn't it say SEVENTH after last weeks that little mishap
