I really like the simple but effective solution of preheating the carburettor to provide anti icing protection. Great solution!
Great great, Shark is permanently updating, small little details is what's all about.
Also a good idea is the battery charging plug in Shark's left gills.Vlado, we're waiting for the Ipad installation kit.( SN 148) happy new year...
Great article that shows the useful safety features of the Shark. Nice 👍🏻


well done, looking forward for the next gigs
Dog is my Co-pilot!
Noteworthy that Risen achieves almost identical speed with side by side seating and the same engine. Quite profound actually.
Not with the same engine 😉
@@sharkairplane no? aren't both the 100HP 912?
I prefer tandem
Why is the insurance so high ? I was planning to buy a 2 year old shark, a gota quote OF $12000 a year, which it was a deal breaker
We hope that with the introduction of MOSAIC the situation in the insurance market will improve. Currently it depends a lot on the brokers. We suggest talking to our US representatives.
Retractable landing gear instantly raises your insurance. Mechanical complexities and pilot errors makes for higher insurance payouts.
One element of safety is simplicity.
Therefore, I do not understand why the passenger is not positioned at CG.
The necessity to move around a 6kg dead weight constitutes a design flaw that should be corrected.
Because it’s a tandem seater 😁
@@sharkairplane As said, with the passenger positioned at CG, it would make no difference to the CG if the seat is occupied or not.
@@tubevization But the weight of the pilot, so far in front of CG, would be a limiting factor
@@Fastwolf666 That's correct. However, my impression is that the pilot is situated much closer to CG then the passenger - it should be the other way round as the pilot seat is always occupied. I suspect that the 6kg dead weight in the aft is placed there mainly for convenience and not really needed when flying in single mode to stay within the CG envelope. Whereas it is mandatory to place the weight under the cowling when taking a passenger. It would be interesting to see the actual calculation.
He mentioned a 110kg passenger in the rear. That's a 240lb passenger! Moving that little amount of weight for CG is nothing. That is awesome and still be under gross!
