I felt very Honoured to be invited as Maria's second passenger, in a Cabri G2 - I've never flown in.
Wishing this Competent Aviatrix, many safe flying hours.

Wow! That’s Maria!

Reminds me I of the Enstrom Shark I used to train in.

You will not be shocked !

Very well flown ❤

Great sound track 2nd one

Very good helicopter a Guimbal

Not Shocked ....I don't think he got on the pedals

Christchurch Helicopters! So awesome, awesome bunch of people!

Pity about the irrelevant background noise.  I could have done with a background commentary.

Misleading title? I assumed that the airline pilot would take the controls but that did not appear to be the case

Will shock you ?????? 😅🤣

What is shocking about going for a short flight in a small helicopter?  Just a normal everyday experience.  Admittedly I have only done it 3 times and only once having control.  Depends where one is and what is available.  My idea of a good holiday is driving/motorcycling round a country and stopping when I find an airfield and having a go at what is available.  So I have done a bit of mountain flying, grass strip flying, flying a range of light aircraft, sea plane, microlights, autogiros and a Harvard.

Please change the title. It doesn't fit.

Very small cabin  (Look at the position of the  passenger''s feet) but attractively designed . As the pilot  confirmed  there's  a  much larger load on the pilot  than in a light aircraft. That being the case , a lot work still needs to be done on the ergnomics to reduce stress on the pilot.   . . . why the start-up check list in small type  on card  and positioned well down out of pilot's line-of-sight forward  (A fan of microdots ?). Ditto, the instrument panel, . . pilot has to take eyes off the straight shead line of travel to read. . .the panel isn't even angled in or swivelsble towards the pilot ?  The whole instrument panel is too busy with switches. Its dying for further digitisation to take the load off the pilot. Lets face it a lot of this information could be displayed on a large tablet operating a two level menu under voice or touch control, with the  "Airworthy vitals"  projected onto a Heads-up display to one side of the pilots lline-of -sight forward. In a fragile craft like this, which hangs in the air courtesy of a small  ICE engine snd which, because of these fore going factors will be more subject to the vagueties of local changes in weather  and the actions of nearby craft in flight, the pilots no 1 eye ball needs to be looking out of the cockpit, not head down searching for readable instrument readings. There  should be a audible warning system  for when any of the flight characteristics or electro mechanical systems go out of envelope.

Personally, I'd say make the design 1/3 larger and stick two engines in it and beef up the structure accordingly before I would consider taking it up. Way to fragile . . a product paired down to a price and prospective purchasers disposable income, rather than uplifted to safety requirements.

I wonder how the aviation authorities grade this craft eith regsrd to pilot training and examined competence attained before someone's allowed to sit in the driver's seat and how this requirement compares with the standards stipulated for light aircraft.

What on earth was that screeching sound while the rotor was being engaged? I ask as a retired helicopter pilot with 22K hours mostly on helicopters, large and small.

Great Lass ! And an Aviator 👍
