    I have made boomerangs for 15 years. Please never, never throw them flat! That is the best way to break a boomerang. If you are interested in some I would be glad to send you some for free. Just need to know what hand you are. (Right or Left) Right or left boomerang? ( take one arm point at your chest airfoil side up like a plane wing leading edge of wing tells you which hand it is to be thrown with. Example: If the leading edge of the limb is on the right it is a right handed boomerangs Boomerangs are meant to be thrown approximately 30 to 40 deg. Normally out of the wind. ( face the wind. Right handed b-rangs are thrown to the right side of a head wind and left handed to the opposite side of a head wind) the head wind will help push the boomerang back to you as it loose centrifugal force. If the boomerang circles but ends in front of you. Throw more into the wind. If it circles behind you, throw more out of the head wind. Pitch- the angle of release can vary greatly depending on the boomerang, wind conditions, rate of spin, and force thrown. Throwing a boomerang "flat" causes it to want do a vertical loop. It will stall slip back and smack the ground on edge (not a good thing) 15 - 40 deg is a normal range. Australian boomerangs tend to be closer to 40° from vertical when thrown. Fast catch boomerangs tend to be closer to 5° from vertical ( but they travel upwards of a 100 mph) The basic throw for a new boomerang is to throw 30° out of the head wind, aiming at the tree tops on the horizon, with a medium hard throw, laid over at 30° ( pitch) with a good snap of the wrist ( similar to casting a fishing pole) this helps with lift and stability in flight. More than happy to help if you want to know more.

    P.s. If your successful in your throwing and it comes back to you. Don't reach out and grab it. ( kinda like sticking your hand in a very large spinning prop) catch it like someone threw you a pancake and you don't want to mash it. Curl you fingers back and catch it between your palms. Love you guys. And many happy returns.

    Thank you. I got a boomerang a few years ago and learned how to throw it before I even took it out to the field. I cringed when he said he was going to throw it sidearm because 1) It's just gonna loop and smash into the ground and 2) it's the perfect way to get a boomerang to hit someone in the head at full speed. Yes, boomerangs are fun. Yes, boomerangs are dangerous. If you're reading this and want to get a boomerang, do your research first so that you avoid injuring someone and/or buying a boomerang that doesn't fit the space that you have.

    I'm a high school science teacher and professor and a lifetime member of the USBA (Unitied States Boomerang Association). I've been making, teaching my students, and throwing boomerangs (I used to throw competitively) for over 20 years. I'm also using the FliteTest STEM curriculum at my school in Ashland, OH. I hate to say it, but the "authentic Aboriginal boomerang" is "touristy" gimmick. The aerodynamics of those "boomerangs" are completely wrong. Plus, never throw a boomerang side-armed. The hunting sticks, called kylies, were thrown side-armed, but the returning boomerangs (despite stories and Hollywood, were never used for hunting) are always thrown vertically or nearly vertically. You may not realize it, but some of the world's best boomerang throwers are located in Ohio...a couple of them in the Canton area. I highly recommend contacting Gary and Logan Broadbent (father and son throwers). Gary has been giving motivational talks all over the country using boomerangs and holds several world records with boomerangs. Gary and I used to travel all over together giving demos at places such as schools, camps, Science conferences, NASA, etc. I did more of the glider demonstrations and Gary would do the boomerang demos. His son, Logan, now lives in Cleveland is now one of the top boomerang throwers in the world, has been on the Cleveland news several times, and was on the last season of the American Ninja competition. They refer to Logan as the "Boomerang Ninja": facebook.com/boomerangninja/ Believe me, it would be worth the time (and may make a really neat FT episode) to contact them and have them come out and give a demo. Also, look up the USBA website: usba.org/ for more information and it'll be a good place to find boomerangs that would actually work. :) Many Happy Returns!

    I recently had a prop chop through an antenna for my receiver when my FT Explorer was viciously attacked by a rock on landing. I called Hitec and asked about part numbers so I could order one. $15 for a pair, not bad. I talked with Brian (I think? Kevin?) for about 20 minutes talking about crashes, flying, rebuilding etc and at the end of it all, he said for being such a loyal customer over the years he went ahead and sent me a pair of antenna free of charge. It's stuff like that that keeps me as a customer. Not so much the freebie stuff, but the appreciation and general good nature of people. Which is why I support Flite Test and stay away from places like Banggood like the plague.

    If you want to eliminate Banggood or Gearbest as an purchase option then you need to sort out your freight costs to ship outside the U.S. as this is what kills a lot of the online store options for me. The cost to ship by UPS to outside the U.S is very high and makes parts and large models very expensive to get to N.Z.

Throw modestly and to the right of a slight head wind. Start there and adjust as needed to get it to come back to you close enough to catch it. Love the show guys, keep it up! Good luck.

    My experience with Boomerangs is you should throw them "reverse tomahawk' style as was mentioned, foil oriented liek an airplane wing, at approximately 60 degrees from flat. approximately the angle of your forward slash "/" on your keyboard. The point of the boomerang should be piercing the wind first. Spin them up a lot to increase lift and don't throw them too hard. Keep the arc tight and small to start. I can pretty much hit what I aim at with a boomerang and make it return to me within about 10 feet (often into my hands) but it takes practice and it should be thrown into the wind. Really, the expectation is that the boomerang creates a parabolic arc that will return. (Think of an inside loop on an airplane) Many boomerangs are not intended to return (but how majorly boring is that?). The Arc trajectory is useful if you're hunting fowl and you scare the flock away from you but chase them into the returning boomerang. Much like a curveball fools the batter, the bird cannot avoid the changing trajectory. Cool concept if you're a hunter (which I'm not - can't bring myself to do that - also not very humane).

    I dont know where we are getting so many that say hold at 45 degrees... ..Heck I used to hunt as a kid with ones I made ...little ones, Really big ones, micro ones...any size... The best way to 'fly' it is almost perfectly vertical, Right arm, top blade pointing forward, airfoil to left. Really toss it with an over arm toss like throwing a baseball. It will make a large circle to the left and return for you to catch. The circle should be about same height as your height...with it remaining same height throughout its full circle. In making them, the airfoil is what pulls it around the circle(lifts horizontally). Most Aborigine boomerangs have a a little of the lower part of the airfoil removed near the tips that effectively raise the angle of attack of the tip. The best ones are cut from a limb to truck joint from a small tree which utilizes the best grain direction for durability...but I have made quite a lot from just simple plywood. If they are big enough, and heavy enough you could kill a rabbit with them...and he wouldn't know what hit him as you dont throw it directly at target you throw it to right of target and it will hit target from right right while target it looking directly at you.(hunter)

    Not much, but it will give it more stability and help it stay in the air longer after the momentum is used up. If you get it right they tend to finish up descending almost vertically right in front of you, at that point the extra rotation speed will give more lift and a slower descent. Still bloody hard to catch though.

I don't expect spectacular results from it but sometimes I'm surprised. What I really respect about Flite Test is that they put out free designs so people can go and build them from Dollar Store foam board. What could be cheaper than that? Nothing will keep knock-off artists from selling your designs however I agree that patronizing knock-off artists isn't good for the hobby. Also, you guys sell really affordable parts, even with some added shipping costs. I guess the bottom line is people have to do what they can afford. I personally have a boatload of respect for Flite Test and I like the great ideas you have. Keep up the good work.

    Boomerang: Throw it tomahawk style, open V forward, vertical orientation, throw straight at horizon, if you are throwing right hand, curved side should face left. It should fly in a circle turning left. It should make a full 360, then spiral down overhead in an mostly flat orientation. Boomerang turns because because front side of the spinning airfoil is always making more lift than the back side so it wants to arc. I love throwing my boomerangs and I have the scars to prove it. :) On copying designs, unfortunately isn't that the accepted Chinese business model? It seems many Chinese companies follow this knock off practice.

    So some things about boomerangs, originally there were two sorts of hunting boomerangs, neither of which were meant to come back to you. The first style was designed to fly straight, literally just meant to throw it at small land animals to stun or kill them, and the second kind is meant to curve around behind flocks of birds and other land animals and drive them towards other hunters who would then kill them with spears and other weapons. The idea of a boomerang being thrown and then coming full circle to be caught again is a very modern one.

Not completely vertical but just slightly have the top end 15 degrees or so outwards. The idea is to make do a full circle. Then it should rise up and helicopter down to u.

    Counterpoint: Knockoffs get more people into the hobby that would otherwise never risk spending a chunk of change on something they've never tried that's as complicated as RC. A lot of stuff is way more expensive than it should be and it hurts the hobby as much as bad knockoffs ever could.

    Not advocating chinese copying, but banggood is just a wholesaler. They have absolutely nothing to do with manufacturing. Also Eachine had nothing to do with this plane, and them getting brought up made the whole complaint end up sounding like a butthurt rant. Competition is what spurs innovation. Not monopolies.

    They are also ripping off your ft explorer and the Spear. I dont know if this is directly banggood or thier suppliers. Im in Australia and the difference between a emaxx motor from bangood and the USA is about 100%. It literally costs me at least double to buy from america, bangood will deliver for free ( if i wanna wait a month ) or in 2 weeks ( if i wanna pay like $2 ). On the other hand i expect about 1 in 4 thing to fail. I have bought alot through them, the planes copied from you wont be on the list tho, i have built about 7 arrows three vectors a baby baron a mini f22 and have the plans printed for a sparrow and explorer ready to go, and did you see the way that wing snapped lol. But i have bought alot of commonents through them and had 1 motor fail from new, a batch of props so thin they would flex at 10rpm, heatshrink carbon fiber wrapp that didnt heat shrink, a reciever that failed from new causeing 3 planes to crash ( arrows :( ) due to it being intemittent from new, and with all that im still up by at least 25% due to cheap prices and really really cheap shipping to Australia. This is why it makes me angry when i see 3 of your planes on there siite, i buy alot throught them so i can build your planes, now im conflicted. But i do love you guys and i did even sign up to your shop but the frieght doubled the price of my order, for us in Australia its hard to compete with asia ( just above us ) cheap frieght prices, i just wish they built quality as well, not to mention thier own stuff lol.

    I'd love to get build kits from you guys. I'm all for supporting the original designers. But when I have the choice between paying 45 bucks for shipping, 16 bucks for customs and 6 bucks VAT OR free shipping and no extra charges... it's kind of a hard sell here in Europe. I know you guys partnered up with Graupner in Germany, but with the high dollar conversions their prices aren't very appealing either. I'd love to pay a couple of extra dollars to support you guys, but over 4x the original amount is just too much for me. Sorry!

    Well........ Their land and building was formally a golf driving range and pro shop. The land has been receiving "free" fill to level out the grade for use by the next owners. Rumor is that FliteTest is moving and there is already plans for their old land. Stay tuned, Josh has made a few references to these facts a while ago...
