LOOP News 14 MAR 06: Records are tumbled by Cabri G2A two-seat light helicopter has just had three world records confi rmed – and it wasn’t by a Robinson R22. Last August, French pilot Olivier Gensse set three records in a Cabri G2, the creation of French engineer Bruno Guimbal in 1992 when he was working as a rotor engineer for Eurocopter. Guimbal went on to become head of R&D at Eurocopter, but is now boss of his own helicopter company, Helicopteres Guimbal, producing a developed version of the Cabri G2. The company has also just signed a deal to develop an unmanned version of the G2 for Eurocopter. The records were in the sub-500kg MTOW helicopter class:
