The UK CAA yesterday issued all the necessary documentation for the Guimbal Cabri G2, making it fully certified for use in the UK.  Local distributor Cotswold Helicopter Centre, who had a very positive response to this new type at Helitech recently, tell HeliHub.com that they are starting type ratings on their demonstrator next week.  They currently have a backlog of twelve pilots waiting for their type ratings, and they are optimistic in turning some of these into purchasers too.

Cotswold currently have the demonstrator shown at Helitech on their fleet.  A second example is arriving early in 2012, and Elite Helicopters at Goodwood have announced that the demonstrator is expected to visit them for demo flights.
