Interesting flying:

Most people would be happy with 1000-1500km in a week.  Well nobody told Tomas Suchanek who managed almost 7000km in a stunning week of flying in the HPH 304 Shark, including a flight of almost 1200km’s at 136 kph !.
A summary of his flights are shown below

Competition News:

2011 will see the HpH 304S Shark competing in competitions worldwide and we will report on its progress here. It is expected that it will perform to the same level as the 304C/CZ has done in recent years:
