Thanks,

Cockpit comfort is key as much as safe handling. Hph304cz is no longer in production I think.

Does the Shark have trailing dive brakes?


No. You can see spoilers/dive brakes and flaps on the 3-view on the manufacturer's website. http://www.hph.cz/products/hph-304s-shark/


Oh yes, I see. I looked at their new L/D for the shark as opposed to the comparison with the 304CZ. I'm like, how could they thin that airfoil with all the mechanism that it took to put trailing dive brakes in the wing and still get the higher L/D ratios... Well, now I can see!

It's too bad they can't use them. Love those trailing dive brakes...

Thanks...
