Guimbal Cabri G2

[Sikorsky]

Is there a plan for an electrical cockpit ventilation fan in the future?

Hello Sikorsky,

You can have air conditioning in the G2, much better than a fan !

Here are some photos we've taken of our twins! We collected the new UK Cabri G2 from the factory last week. It will be on display at Helitech next month.

Are the windows tinted on the Cabri?

All the pics I've seen suggest there is no, or very little, tint.

Hello CRAN,

I am tempted to say that you are a man of taste !

.
P.S : Can we say that in English ?...

[Freewheel]

It's not often said of the English, but yes, it can be said in English.

FLY 7,

The windscreen is not tinted but we've never really had any problems with glare. Mind you excessive sunshine is not really an issue in the UK!!!

Hello Helicentre,

Nice pictures !

Can you confirm that your twins will become triplets in few months and quadruplets later ?

OK So how do the handling wheels work, doesn't seem to be any handle like on the Robi, or are they like the H500 /as350 where you remove the handle after its over centre and locked down?

[Matari]

Not sure about the Cabri, but it's always best to remove the handle for safety reasons -- in case the pin fails and the weight forces the wheel back to the stowed position, flinging the handle through something or someone.

Early production Cabris had a removable handle and locking pin. Current production Cabris have ground handling wheels with removable handle and an over centre lock. Much better.

Hello Helicentre,

Yes Henri, we have number three on order (due January 2014) and our intention is have a forth by late summer 2014 depending on production times.

OK So how do the handling wheels work, doesn't seem to be any handle like on the Robi, or are they like the H500 /as350 where you remove the handle after its over centre and locked down?

The wheels and handle don't take up much space in the boot. They're inflatable treaded tires, quite easy to whip on and off and it's not heavy to push around by one person.

Are those blades spinning with nobody in the aircraft???

[martvidar]

Not exactly a wise decision, considering the landing spot! Not much traction for those skids

Out of interest, has the Cabri got a collective locking mechanism?

[HeliHenri]

.
Hello Bravo73,

Yes, and with a remote keyless !

Ah, very nice! Is that what that Kiwi pilot is likely to be using?

Sorry about my English Bravo73 but I don't understand the meaning of your question, can you please reformulate or maybe there is a hidden meaning in it ?
