Hi,

Any HPH304s owners (with Fes would be excellent) out there willing to share their experience with that bird?

Not much interested in performance , more comfort, easy of handling and suitability for low time pilot.

Post sales service etc.

I will much appreciate it.

Yours,

Slawek

I am the owner of a Shark MS. I have read with interest Davis Binghams thoughts and comments. I agree with almost everything mentioned. The one big thing I disagree with is factory support.
I have owned 20 + gliders over the years from different manufacturers. All have been a pleasure to deal with but none have measured up with the support I have received from HPH. Every question I have asked has been answered. I have sent e mails on Saturdays which have been answered the same day.
I have received follow up e mails from the factory making sure all is well. The factory has been as interested in my opinion and thoughts of the shark as I am of theirs. A rare experience!
Another feature I have appreciated is construction. I measured the contour of my wings when purchased 3 years ago and they have changed very little. An important issue for a competition pilot.
All in all I have enjoyed the HPH experience. Sam Giltner 5U

I am the owner of a Shark MS and can confirm the factory support is excellent. You can email the CEO Jaroslav or Dasa or Martin directly and they’ll always answer immediately. I am 6.4 and weight 240lbs. With the weight of the engine the glider is very very fast. It flys superbly. Manufacturing quality is top notch. It’s certainly one of the best 18m out there in terms of quality/price ratio you can get.

I agree with Alberto and 5U.
Response from factory was always immediate and helpful.
Quality was amazing and glider was great to fly.
Very stable, climbed well, and was fast enough for me.
The small group of US and UK owners were always helpful and willing to help with any needs.
Over the five years I owned my MS model, it was very reliable and never had a problem.
