Always enjoy your videos! You’re a lucky lady. So much good support for you in the German soaring community. Wish it was the same in U.S. west coast..😒
Hi Juliet, real interesting to see the production of the Shark, kind of similar to the manufacturing of my 3.6 meter carbon rc glider with a nose mounted electric motor. BTW I am happy you made a video in the English language 😊 looking forward to see you fly this beautiful glider. Safe travels.
Hi Mike, did you know that HPH also builds airplane models?☺️ And thanks, it’s great to hear this feedback! During the video production both Jaroslav and I struggled and sometimes even switched to German… but good to know it was worth the effort! 😂😅
Awesome! I really wonder why there are not more 304 Sharks in the Netherlands, its such a beautiful glider and so well made, you really see the Glasflugel legacy in these gliders. I already have a quote for a 304 Shark RES, cant pay for it yet, but if all goes as planned maybe in a few years. As a Tesla driver it would be a shame if I would get a gas engined version!
@@MarcoNierop Shark is not a 'competitive 18m ship'. It can't live with the 3's and is now a fairly old design nearly 20 years old, early 2000's, so perceived as not being so 'sexy to own', that's why. Which would you choose if you had the choice and money, a JS3, Ventus 3, AS33, (Diana 4?) or Shark? Very few people would choose the Shark - only its lower cost (which is relatively marginal when speaking in terms of spending several thousand euro's) helps it sell, the same with the LAK17C. Also HPH is not so well known or as regarded as the big 3 manufacturers although the quality of their product is often better. A good 'Sunday fliers' glider though, ideal for most people that don't fly comps seriously and have the cash. A more competitive 'Shark 2' is needed now though....... and an eletric self launch Twinshark............ :-)
@@soaruk3697 I had contact with Jaroslav of HPH, and the Twin Shark RES is coming in about 3 years. I really think the Shark is as competitive as the V3, JS3, AS33, differences are marginal. But the 50k-100k price difference is tempting for my use case. I only fly local weekend competitions and my goal is to fly long cross country flights from my home field... The Shark would do just fine for me!
@@soaruk3697 I think you are mistaken the old 304 design with the 304 Shark, which is a complete new design from the ground up, first prototype flew in 2006 but has been improved upon ever since, the production versions are much better, mayve it is a little older than the Ventus 3 or JS3, but not much. For the type of pilot like me, it would make no difference.. All these ships are excellent flying machines with exceptional performance. I also really like the JS3RES, but might be too expensive for me. But we will see, I still have a few years to decide.
@@julietsierra Looking forward to watch. A walk around, Cockpit, caracteristics, flying and a comparison, of the flying features to your former sailplanes. Can be in German, but with English captions, or in English, with German captions. So we learn some language, from our beautiful flier. Kisses and hugs.
Morning, so many comments about how good the video was. Well, I’m sorry, I thought it was very amateurish. The young lady was looking at the camera too much and not paying attention to the gentleman who was explaining the process. I thought she was not suited to do the interview. Needed more in depth questions. I would like to see another interview with a better interviewer. Thank you.
Hi Watson, this is RUclips, not television so either learn how to give feedback or get over it. Most creators here are self taught, keep this in mind. 🤝 With constructive input people may actually appreciate your valid input. You’re here on my channel, no need to speak in the 3rd person about me. I’m always happy to hear how to improve so listening to tips from others is essential. What you are saying is noted for the next time I do a tour. Inviting you to give constructive input next time, too. Come on, do better.
G,day JS from Sydney Australia. Fantastic that you're back with your channel. I'd like to see you flying in your glider.
🌏🇦🇺
Liked the video and the use of English language. Thanks.

Thanks for the English language. I liked the video. Good job.
Hey Phil, thanks for sticking around! Looking forward to the next update with Sharky already 🙌🏼🦈
very cool, thanks for the tour!
Hi, so good to hear from you! Thanks for the nice words 🦈🙌🏼🔥
Jaroslav is such a nice guy, met him few times in Namibia.
Always enjoy your videos! You’re a lucky lady. So much good support for you in the German soaring community. Wish it was the same in U.S. west coast..😒
Excellent video, the building process is amazing and their gliders are beautiful. Looking forward to future video's of you flying.
Thanks. Very educational video. Impressive how they fabricate every single part in house. Nice gliders 🤩
This was very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the great video. And wish you happy landings all the time.
Thanks for your kindness, happy flying to you too! 🦈🩵
OMG!
That’s what I thought when we entered the Lamination!🤩
Great video - really interesting.
Glad to hear that! Anything else you would have liked to see or learn about HPH?
Perfect and sympathic video!

@@julietsierra it was !!
If you have purchased a Shark, I am insanely jealous.
❤
That's where heaven comes from
What is the cost ?
Unfortunately they don't do the "Endkantendrehklappen" anymore like the Moskito. They were the best Airbrake concept ever

Which gliders dominate in the Netherlands? Maybe it’s your chance to be a pioneer and advance this field😄📈
@@julietsierra Schempp Hirth, Schleicher are dominating and Jonkers to a lesser extend. Beautiful ships of course but also very expensive!

When is the actual test flight?
I already had a first flight with the Shark but focused on flying rather than filming.
My next flight is going to be documented and shared soon! 😄

Darfst Du wieder fliegen?
Ja ist alles ganz normal, back at it! ☺️
