Hello H500,

Your figures are nearly correct, They are now more than 110 G2 builded.

When you say "an attrition rate of 13%", you mean than 13% of the G2 are not flying anymore ?

If I'm not wrong, all the G2 builded are still flying.

About the reasons of the accidents, I can't answer because I don't know the circonstances exept for the one in France (July 2013), the pilot (and owner) and a friend are flying and :
"In cruise flight, they heard some noise that they found was caused by the baggage door, left open, flapping in the airstream. The pilot decided to land immediately in a field in front of him. In short finals with no anticipation, he was disoriented by the bright sunlight and an obstacle, and made a very hard landing with no yawing motion and moderate forward speed.The helicopter bounced significantly and hit the ground again on the left side. "

The helicopter sustained significant damage. After been repaired, it's still flying in 2015.
