Brantly B2

There was one about a year ago that tried to take off from a Florida
airport in cool weather with two occupants and a full load of fuel.
Apparently, that was overloaded because it got a few feet out over a
lake and went plop. It wouldn't be my first choice for a helicopter.

Please help me with some info on the Brantly B2

Will it be able to be flown safely in South Africa.
I live at 4700 ft above sea level
with summer temps up to 100F
I am worried about density altitude.


Thanks

Any helicopter out of CG & overloaded would be dangerous to fly
