I did not know what the overhaul requirements for the G2 were and looked it up. According to what I read the first G2 overhaul was done at the factory in France after 2200 hours in 2012.

I could at least fit in one, unlike the TuTu

btw TT straps aren't (weren't) that expensive (guess it depends on your definition of expensive).
Not sure what they cost now in SA Ront, I'm sure @BellPilot can confirm. He has a few JetBangers.
As you're aware a helo doesn't hurt toooo badly if everything goes to plan, they generally become painful when something unexpected happens - some are just more painful than others.
