Default Altitude record for Cabri ! 6 445 m !!

Sunday August 21 2005
This morning at Rouen - Boos France (LFOP), the CABRI G2 n° 1001, take off
at 8.05 am T.U (10.05 am local time) with on his board
Olivier GENSSE, pilot of the helicopter ( 36years ) establishing a new
record of altitude in the category of the helicopters of less than 500
kg.

After having reached the altitude of 21 148 ft (6 445 m), Olivier GENSSE, is
gone down again in autorotation in order to preserve a
little fuel to return on the Rouen airport (record held previously by Wayne
H. MULGREW (the USA) with 5 937 m).

With 9.04 am TU (11.04 am local time), the CABRI G2 was posed with the
ground of Rouen-Boos after 59 minutes of flight, and at least two
pulverized records.

The second beaten record was during the rise of the CABRI de Bruno GUIMBAL:
the arrival at an altitude of 3000 m in 7 minutes (record
held previously by Richard Fenwick (France) with 7 minutes 45).

The mass on the takeoff of the CABRI G2 n°1001, helicopter of the record,
was 493.50 kg, including 36 liters of fuel, as well as the
pilot (equipped) of 83 kg.

The pilot was equipped with an oxygen bottle.
