Official developer / designated-store reference · checked 2026-09-14
Bruno Guimbal developed the Cabri after working in the helicopter industry. Its first demonstrator flew in 1992, and commercial service began in 2008. The production aircraft has a side-by-side two-seat cabin, a three-bladed main rotor and an enclosed tail rotor.
The Cabri serves the light training role also associated with the Robinson R22. Its rotor, airframe, controls and systems are Guimbal's own design.

The manual states there is no control-wheel-steering mode. With the autopilot off, yoke SYNC synchronises the flight director. Electric pitch trim disconnects the autopilot while leaving the yaw damper, and the pitch wheel changes flight-guidance references rather than trim position.
