Paint jobs on Cabri's
I have noticed that almost all Cabri G2's have a white top on the tail, why? Do you have to have a white top on the tail, is it because it is composite and it reflects the sun off it, only reason I could come up with?

Cabri G2
I've got about 200 hours Cabri G2 so far. The more I fly it the more I think it's a superb aircraft to train pilots in.
I'd like to bump this thread because it's interesting hearing from other Cabri operators around the world and your experiences good and bad. Having met Bruno at Helitech in September I'm even more convinced this aircraft will be the future of flight training.
Maybe we can get some more photos coming in? I'll try and get some photos up later this week.

Im looking for a secondhand Cabri G2, if anyone knows of one going. Ideally with 500-1000 hrs and the vibration balance upgrades done.. Please PM me if you know of anything - can't find much!

All the Cabri G2 delivered next year are already sold. Well, that's not a real news
But among them, 3 will go to ...... the US (FAA certification soon), that's the real news !!!
Next year will also see the Chinese certification.

Vietnam Helicopter Corporation (VNH), an Oil and Gas operator in South East Asia (and Europe) has just ordered 2 Cabri G2 for training.
"Vietnam Helicopter Corp has ordered two G2 Cabri helicopters from Hélicoptères Guimbal in France - for delivery this summer. Following a year-long selection process, including flight evaluation and a government bidding procedure, the purchasing contract was signed in Hanoï between General Ha Tien Dung, VNH chairman and CEO, and Roland Mampe, director of programme at Hélicoptères Guimbal.
For Bruno Guimbal, president and CEO of the manufacturer: "with this important success, which follows several others including Heli-Union, the Polish Air Force and the Lithuanian Civil Aviation University, the Cabri G2 is proving itself the best training helicopter, and particularly for professional pilots aiming at heavy helicopters. This is the result of three years of in-the-field proving in smaller structures."
The manufacturer starts 2014 with a strong order book increase, now extending to 2015, despite taking into account a strong production rate ramp-up."

Hello Jelico,
You're not the only one looking for a G2 !
there was two G2 for sale some weeks ago (one French and the other German) but they didn't stay for long.
One of your compatriot had more luck than you, he found one with a very nice blue color in Holland, sn/003 arrived yesterday (23 dec) in NZ , nice present for Christmas
, you can find the story and pictures on the very good blog "NZ CIVIL AIRCRAFT" ( don't know why but I can't put the link directly)
Edit : in fact, two of your compatriots had luck !
