Default shark selflauncher

The price list for the 304S including option is on my website
http://www.wingsandwheels.com/pdf/HP..._E_1%20(2).pdf
The Jet as of today is as a sustainer, completely computer controlled and
fixed power. Though it is designed as a sustaine the factory test flights
were accomplished with a short 50' auto tow with rather remarkable climb and
cruise performance. Also to be offered are conventional solo sustainer
(recip) and self launch "Binder" system Solo 2625-01 systems (also now on
this page) as used on most other self launch sailplanes.
The 304S prototype has already shown pretty remarkable contest performances
as a pure sailplane and the only thing better will likely be the production
models..the 304S prototype is currently in 3rd place in the Hungarian
nationals after 7 contest days http://www.lhdv.cwi.hu/dokument_eng.html
....not bad since it's the only 304S to compete in any contest against a
fleet of gliders from DG(LS), S-H, AS and the rest and always is well in the
top of the pack and always flying with a new pilot with littel or no
previous experience in the 304S until contest day 1 ..the first USA 304S is
also due to land in Texas within days....hopefully Dick Johnson will be up
to another sailplane evaluation in the not too distant future
best regards
Tim

...

I see that pricing is available for a self-launch capable 304S from HPH
but- what system are they using, Jet or Solo?
The pricing is not yet available for a turbo model alone
Pricing is available for jet-sustainer
No mention of the actual mechanics are made, they must know though, as
there is an exact pricing for self launch.
Does this mean the self-launch is jet as well?
Anyone know?
