Nothing lasts forever! No finite lifetime components simply means, that unlike Robbys where the wear on certain components is such, that they must be replaced after a certain number of hours, the parts in a Cabri are apparently less susceptible to wear,or just so durable, that they only need replacing if inspection warrants it.

Here's the thing with the FAA:if you tell them nothing, or nothing USUAL needs to be replaced in an end of life manner, the FAA is going to tell you you didn't test it enough.Remember: the FAA is not happy until YOU are not happy. That's the way it is!

No finite lifetime componenets? That sounds to good to be true. If nothing even needs replacing, then I can guarantee you one of two things: the FAA won't like it, or b) your statement is not entirely true. What about major overhauls? Not needed? Can't be!ANY heli is susceptable to wear and tear, metal fatigue, stress fractures, ect. Why not this one?Good luck trying to convince the FAA nothing needs to be replaced after 2000 hours!

The actual operating cost if the Cabri G2 is lower than the R22, much lower. :)Why? Because it has no finite lifetime components like the R22, and its advanced plasma fuel injection system makes it perform much better using less fuel. Good for the environment too. :)

very nice, very clean look, very expensive.in fact, too expensive.it's only a 2 seater, not a 4 seater, so why price it so high?to be competition for the R22, the price has GOT to come down, at least by 50 to 70 000 euros!

Do you have a write up on the flight?? I checked your website and I didn't come across an article.

Thanks you so much for sharing the video.The Guimbal Cabri G2 seems to be awesome.
