The Cabri G2 is felt by many to be the very best in helicopter technology.
The high quality of craftsmanship and proven technology, coupled with minimal downtime, and with many parts having no life limit, the Cabri G2 is simply one of the most economical crafts in its class.
With its composite fuselage, fully articulated main rotor system, Fenestron® tail rotor, infinite life composite blades, and state of the art avionics, this revolutionary machine is guaranteed to be a solid investment.
The reliable Lycoming engine is fitted with a smart digital governor that gives a turbine – like behaviour, and a state-of-the-art electronic ignition requiring no maintenance. It will start without problems from hot to very cold temperatures.
Model: Textron Lycoming O360-J2A
Type: Four cylinder, air cooled
Displacement: 5.9L / 361cu.in

Cabin occupants enjoy a roomy, luxurious, leather – clad cockpit, with perfect all – round visibility and outstanding ergonomics.
Rudder pedals can be set instantly to fit your size. You will feel at home in the Cabri G2, with cup holder, cabin heating, new vents, music input and power outlet to charge your cell phone.
The heart of the avionics is the EPM, a dedicated multi-function display monitoring 36 parameters and providing advanced functions such as: Smart power indicator, Engine & Rotor RPM, Advanced fuel computer, Automatic carburettor heating, Transmission chip detectors.
You can choose between many different avionics configurations, including moving – map GPS, dual COM, etc. At the top of the range, the new Aspen digital PFD/HSI makes the Cabri a perfect glass cockpit IFR trainer.

The luggage compartment is just over 7 cubic feet , and can accommodate the luggage of two people, including two airline – cabin suitcases. The compartment’s shelf is accessible in flight, to hold small items like maps, a sweater or a camera. You can also keep your jacket with you, under the seat. The luggage compartment is readily accessible via a watertight door, locked from the cockpit.
There is also a cockpit forward compartment with 0.7 cubic feet of storage space which can accommodate small items, plus the removable passenger side dual-control set.
The maintenance free rotor is incredibly strong, amazingly manoeuvrable and comes with a lot of inertia for safe, demonstrative and forgiving autorotations. Fly with confidence in winds and turbulences that would ground most light helicopters. Terms like mast bumping are history.
The Cabri G2 comprises a shrouded tail rotor, usually referred to as a Fenestron that was proven to provide excellent manoeuvrability in every flight condition, in every direction of flight up to 35 kts in the hover. Furthermore, it increases the safety for people on the ground and helps to prevent damage from lose objects from the sky and cabin.
Extensive flight testing of the Cabri G2 and of other helicopters equipped with a Fenestron have shown that such tail rotor are immune to stall and LTE.
