The Microsoft Flight Simulator Guimbal Cabri G2 is exactly the same as the real thing you show us. Incredible the well done of the simulator model. ¡Thanks!
All I can say is how envious I am of all you who have the resources to become rotorcraft pilots. I still enjoy the videos, but to have the opportunity to learn to fly would be a dream come true. Safe travels!
David L Wrightsman it's not that hard, we jump the fence at van nuys airport and just use the Schweizer 300 CBI that are ready for maintenance and fly for a little bit
@@Rdrake777 "username checks out" is a phrase that, I think, started on Reddit. I just noticed that your username is "comedycopter" and you wrote a comedic post about a helicopter :)
Owen Daulton I see. Comedycopter.com. I'm going to try jumping the fence at Torrance airport where they have one of these helicopters now that I know how to start it. I posted on my TH-cam channel. As soon as the pandemic is over.
I really like the instrument panel of this helicopter, seems well thought out. MUCH better that the Schweitzer 269 I trained in. lol lol The Rotor RPM warning lights on the left are cool.
Greetings my name is Orlando Falcon from Puerto Rico and I am more than grateful for all the videos you have given us. I am a fan of aviation and I would like to know it at some point.
You can see Mischa, he’lol hook you up with a new or used Cabri as he is the Western dealer!🚁 Bring 💷💶💴💰 in a large 💼 Mischa, what is this plasma you mentioned??🚁🚁🚁🚁👍
Hello, thank You for the nice and informative video. Would be also very nice to emphasize the moment during light check when all lights except STARTER are ON and the moment just after start up when OIL PRESSURE light gloves (not more than 30 s). Next point: maybe i missed, but do you keep mixture all time RICH and at what moment do you check that is in RICH position? Thanks and take care.
Great video. Thanks again. Also, can you call out the dates when you start the videos too.Thanks for what you do for the helicopter community. Stay and fly safe......
I have been out of the field for 11 years. I know a magneto inside and out. But what is a plasma? Electronic ignition in place of one mag? I just watched your new video with your secretary and the challenge too cool. Thank you.
What would happen if you switch off the master switch on flight?! I would have thought that switch should be protected? I’m guessing you won’t drop from the sky but just curious.
To echo another comment - although this video is slick, smooth and systematic - it is more of a showcase of your skill and ability to whizz through the start-up checklist on this aircraft during an event free engine start. What would be of MUCH more interest would be some details and meanings of each gauge and avoid using any abbreviations - those of us that are student pilots would value what are the KPIs and abort points during start-up. Small point - people also love to hear the engine during start-up.
Hi Micsha. My name is Rodney from USA. Thankyou for sharing this awesome start up video on the Giumbal Cabri G2. Can you please explain what the 3 lights are that come on at the very top of your instrument cluster display? Thankyou sir & safe flight to ya always.
Hey mate, one is a governor light indicating that the governor isn't on. The other lights are a low engine oil pressure and nil ops of the engine alternator :)
Jonas Becsan it cut the first word of what I said but I said I want to bring it up to 2000rpm. That would be engine rpm. Yes you were correct it was at 1230.
@@PilotYellow Aha! So if i understand it correctly, it's the engine RPM you bring up to 2000 when doing the magneto checks. How much leeway do you have? Does it needs to be exactly 2000 or is it acceptable to have it give or take 100rpm?
Jonas Becsan yes give or take a little is fine. The most important thing is that you know what number you started at so you can judge how much it drops.
I didn't see any steps regarding the fuel mixture, you just checked the valve. But I've seen you in previous videos adjust the overhead fuel mixture (full rich, etc) controls. Is that not a necessary step during start up?
great video.. can you do one for the 300?? another question is wondering if there is a weight restriction on the cabri seats the way there is on robinson machines....
If I had the money, I'd get one of these over a Robinson. They have crashworthy seats that have a 10-12 inch stroke, a fully articulated main rotor, a fenestron tail rotor & storage space.
One thing I don't understand - your power/torque gauge seems to just respond to collective position rather than actual power and torque, correct? If it was measuring actual power or torque, it should have read zero when you raised the collective with the engine off, because there was no power being generated by the engine. Also, does this heli run Plasma and magnetos in parallel? Is that why you have two switches?
When I long press the frequency switch button, the primary frequency would switch to 121.5. I found there is no way to change it to another frequency during the flight, even though input another frequency in the standby box and switch over. It always reverts back to 121.5. How to change to another frequency under this situation during the flight?
When you put the NR switch to BACKUP you only have 3 lights on..... Normally all the lights are supposed to be ON except the STARTER light ? Am I wrong or it's because your Cabri was already warm ??
Once the engine is started and engaging the GOV are ever at any point applying pressure on the Rudder pedals / anti torque puddles. If so why. I have a lot of questions I need to ask this one cuz I have no I was not really sure maybe in a fixed-wing pilot the only time I ever rode on the helicopter is when I was in the army
How is the autorotation with this ship? Does it fall out of the sky like a Schweitzer or is it Nr sensitiv like a R-22? What is the rate of descent and airspeed in an straight down auto...how is the Nr in an 180 auto with this ship does it over speed easy?
When you did the throttle chop, it seemed like the engine/rotor tach needles kind of skip/jump as they dropped instead of doing a smooth sweep down. Is this normal for the cabri?
Myles Barrett the Cabri is the best training helicopter on the market today. You can’t beat it with anything else out there. The operating costs are similar to an R22. A little cheaper. Maintenance is simple and quick.
I am a complete novice on this topic just want to know why is there such an extensive checklist in today's highly automation tuned era? Or has the checklist already modernised since the 60's? Again I'm a noob; just wanting to know if automation has already cut down on the checklist procedure for startup and will it ever reach a vehicle level of simplicity of just turning the key's and checking the corners?
It likely won't, because systems in helicopters and other aircraft can fail, such as gauges, pumps, etc, and it would take a human to notice that since a system that has failed is not going to always detect its own failure. Mechanical issues can also present themselves that may look normal but for that specific flight condition is abnormal, such as having a very high manifold pressure while not pulling much collective, which could be a multitude of issues. This helicopter is very very modern in terms of the way it displays information, compared to for example a Robinson R22. No matter what, there still has to be a preflight done before startup and all the systems monitored during startup to make sure they're functioning normally, and with helicopter parts that wear quickly and that you're trusting your life to, the least I can do is inspect and check it myself. I've found quite a few issues during pre flights, and some abnormal stuff during startup. You could never fully automate that.
Adam Rom yes we sell them. You can just jump on to our website www.bchelicopters.com and you can see the used ones we have for sale, or you can buy new from us as well. Just give us a call if you are interested.
Thats great.. tnx a lot.. but the problem i am facing is ur speaking rate.. is so fast.. dear sir.. would u please ask u if u have any resources to learn more on instrument in pdf format.. would be great.. and i appreciate that.. possible?
The Cabri has a governor system in which, when selected will automatically control the engines RPM. But the pilot can also adjust the engine throttle by using the twist grip on the collective.
I know it's been a few years ago this was posted, but if you do see this comment, Pilot Yellow, tell me; is that rotor rotating clockwise and not the usual counter clockwise? If so, that would make this a terrible helicopter to learn in here in the US. As a CFII-MEI, one thing you learn day one of the Laws of Learning is first learned best remembered (The Law of Primacy) . It's difficult to overcome that and every other helicopter would react just the opposite aerodynamically from this. Your thoughts?
Chet Meyerson have you ever seen or flown an Astar? Any European helicopter rotates clockwise. That means all airbus helicopters. It’s actually fantastic experience to learn both clockwise and counter clockwise rotating rotor systems.
@@PilotYellow No, actually I have over 10,000 hrs (1000 hrs dual given) and only ONE in helicopters :) An R-22 and that was enough for me :). Now I'm retired and thinking of learning to fly these things if one can learn to do so at almost 70 (another topic entirely). I did not realize just how many rotate clockwise vs counter so you being the experienced instructor says it a good thing to learn both, then I would not argue. Thanks for the reply!! Chet
Chet Meyerson ah that makes sense. I thought you were CFII in helicopters. Coming from a Fixed wing background that makes perfect sense. Yes it’s a very valuable skill to have.
Nice video as always:) Just a question for a R22 pilot, why do you lift up and down the collective to inject the fuel at the beginning? Would not just rolling be sufficient? Thanks
i used this guide to start up cabri in flight simulator 2024. Great guide thanks!

Can't get enough of these Carbi videos... keep 'em coming.
As usual great educational video: I agree, ALWAYS use a Check Lists.
Still looks brand new ... appreciate these quick informative videos
I really like the instrument panel of this helicopter, seems well thought out. MUCH better that the Schweitzer 269 I trained in. lol lol The Rotor RPM warning lights on the left are cool.

Excellent video. I am a fixed wing pilot that has a few hrs in a Helicopter on his bucket list! Someday!
I agree with your presentation, I'm personally enlightened and wanted to know more.......cheer...🙏🙏🙏🙏
Short & Sweet... well done.
Very. Nice use of the cameras and editing. You are getting real good at these now

Thanks e lot.you are e best pilot trainer.because the poor kan know how to start helicopter. Thanks
I truly appreciate and enjoy ALL of your videos
Always wanted to learn to fly and have my own helicopter! Been watching a lot of your videos! The Cabri G2 is amazing!
Nice job sir.
you are great my friend!!!!!
Love this tutorial. I will try it today.
Nice video.
Very nice dear. I am always watch your video 😊👌👍
I like this video.Thank you.
Ok ... now i just need a cabri =D
That's actually a good story.

1:50 is the Switch Master OFF/ON confusing or its just me?or for all single function dash switches UP means ON?
This video is a mandatory download for future reference.
hi, thank you for information
Very nice !!
Very very helpful. Thank you
Can you make 4 videos of VFR and IFR radio communication, pre flight check, IFR flight and what they do at service?
The controls are gorgeous. Nice chopper I've seen in a long time. Does it have a four place seater? That would be perfect for me.
2 seats
4-5 Seater on the Drawing board apparently..
This helped me with starting mine now i just need to figure out how to fly it
Dumb question and sorry if it's been asked before. What's the red lever on the cyclic for? Thank you.
Lift hook manual/backup release lever.
What would happen if you switch off the master switch on flight?! I would have thought that switch should be protected? I’m guessing you won’t drop from the sky but just curious.
Great video! More stuff like this!
Did I miss a reference to the rotor brake or does this aircraft not have a rotor brake?
What’s the NR switch? And Plasma??
Exactly: what is NR, what is Plasma?

In fact, you need this because you want to steal this helicopter. Me too.
Let's ask him again the missing parts...

Nice video as usual! Two questions: 1) What is that red handle on the cyclic? Bomb release? :-) 2) What does NR stand for?
NR is the main rotor speed.
That lost me too?
is it for neutral rotor like a disconnect to the clutch or some type of rotor brake?
NR is the speed of which the main rotor is spinning and the red handle on the Cyclic is the Manual cargo release for underslung ops.
When you put the NR switch to BACKUP you only have 3 lights on.....
Normally all the lights are supposed to be ON except the STARTER light ?
Am I wrong or it's because your Cabri was already warm ??

Misha
How do you like flying the Cabri overall ?
Do you see it replacing the R-22?
The 22 is still way cheaper but if money was no problem I would buy the Cabri in a heartbeat.
So the throttle is not touched during flight?
Not yet a pilot myself Mischa, but what is the red handle on the cyclic control used for. I noticed it is in your Schwiezer also???
I believe it is for the cargo hook.
Chris Eaves ok thanks very much makes sense
How do you fetermine angle of accent and angle of descent when landing or the on board computer takes it over ?
Is carb short for carburetor? Why no fuel injection?
How is the autorotation with this ship? Does it fall out of the sky like a Schweitzer or is it Nr sensitiv like a R-22? What is the rate of descent and airspeed in an straight down auto...how is the Nr in an 180 auto with this ship does it over speed easy?
About 2000ft/min
When you did the throttle chop, it seemed like the engine/rotor tach needles kind of skip/jump as they dropped instead of doing a smooth sweep down. Is this normal for the cabri?
Is this classified as an ultralight?
I would love to be a helicopter pilot but my question is how long it will take me to learn the controls and before beginning to fly
First solo flight is after about 12 hours
Any US distributors? and how much is that going to set me back? I like what I see.
Ben yes you can contact Precision Helicopters. They are the US distributor.
The harness is actually the last thing I'd like to put on just in case shit goes sideways during the startup and i need to bail quickly 😀😁
Haha I was thinking that too. Luckily thats a twist release mechanism.
@@aalifzubair9686 oh good. Nothing to worry about then 😀
Well you never quit a moving chopper on the ground if its about to fall sideways :o bettee to stay inside
Where would I go to get a license and training in Vancouver
Is the Cabri G2 a good learning helicopter and how expensive is it to maintain the G2?
Myles Barrett the Cabri is the best training helicopter on the market today. You can’t beat it with anything else out there. The operating costs are similar to an R22. A little cheaper. Maintenance is simple and quick.
Not a big fan of glass cockpits, can you trade that "real " VSI for something more useful, like a "real" tach? 😗
i know about the magnetos but what is the plasma for? Thx.
utuber52 plasma is an electronic ignition providing a hotter ignition for quicker and better starts. It takes the place of a second magneto.

Sir,
In some of helicopter we see
Several types of digital screens
But we do not know the proper use of that .
Like chinok-47,
52, etc.
Ill be interested in buy one of these Guimbal g2 helicopters new do you sell them ?

Lever on thefront of pilots cyclic?
So, you recently flew this helocopter and you only have a 16 leaters of fuel? That's cutting it pretty thin, don't you think?
What's the max weight for pilot and student in the cabri?
Thats great.. tnx a lot.. but the problem i am facing is ur speaking rate.. is so fast.. dear sir.. would u please ask u if u have any resources to learn more on instrument in pdf format.. would be great.. and i appreciate that.. possible?
Yo yellow,how do u wipe the rain in cabri when u flying at rainy days,coz it doesn’t have wipers??🙄
What is your audio setup??
And why did your LOW FUEL light didn't come on with only 16 liters left?
How do you control the throttle?
The Cabri has a governor system in which, when selected will automatically control the engines RPM. But the pilot can also adjust the engine throttle by using the twist grip on the collective.
Can you make more videos showing and explaining step by step
Yup sure can. I'll be working on it.
Pilot Yellow one more question you have helicopter pilot if you wanted to be an airline pilot can you upgrade or do you have to start all over
Yes you can do a conversion from helicopter to fixed wing and then work your way towards the airlines.

Nice video as always:) Just a question for a R22 pilot, why do you lift up and down the collective to inject the fuel at the beginning? Would not just rolling be sufficient? Thanks
Twisting throttle on the R22 does NOT introduce fuel. Raising the collective does. Your CFI teaching you wrong. CORRILATOR.
I'm trying to learn how to fly by watching youtube videos so that when the SHTF I can go be Rambo somewhere.
Everyone gets the basics but nobody knows how to start it
What's the plasma switch for ?
There is dual ignition in the helicopter. One magneto and one electronic plasma ignition.
i learned in a R22 with no governor
Thx… I wonder how many views you’ll get in the next days after the Flight sim 2020 Update with this Helicopter 😂
I'm here because of that :D
What is the "plasma" referring to?
SmarT Odd we have one magneto and one electronic ignition system. The electric ignition is called the Plasma.
What is plasma, unfamiliar, thanks.
What engine is in the G2?
Lycoming O-360-J2A
I am surprised to see a Carb Heat switch, I would have thought a modern helicopter like the Cabri would be fuel injected.
I was thinking exactly the same 🤔
