    7:14 They (the Aborigines) wanted returning BR´s to come back to the thrower because this design was primarily used to knock passing birds out of the air.. they would be thrown into a flock of overpassing birds where it would be almost a sure bet that at least one would be hit and stunned.

      @thaddeusolczyk5909 Před 4 lety

      @Benny P not quite. You then have to go chasing after the boomerang if it hits a bird. most likely it was to throw near trees to scare flocks of birds into the air where the hunters can pick them off.

    It would be fun to leave a boomerang in the car, to throw, when you run out of batteries, your plane/quad copter breaks, and/or you forgot something and can't fly.

    Well, that's not quite right, the range might not be further but you can encourage more end hover action or with some boomerangs another mini loop, usually with too much power they overshoot so you have to back off a bit.

    I have kindof a challange 4 you. A solar and battery powered raspery pi/smart phone controlled motorized glider for 24/7 high altitude flight. It would be the perfect project 4 u guys to either tear apart and could be fairly cheap 2 make. As sleek and resistance free as possible, large surface wings and mby dual 3d printed propellers that folds back when autopilot isnt engaging motors 4 power conservation. Anyway i think u get where i am going with this self powering + charging batteries and engaging motor at same time during the day and power conservation during the night. It should be very doable with an rc plane and an awesome project 4 u guys to rly test the limits

    It's plywood, the wood grain is laid so that you don't get 'fracture' points. Wait until you cut out the boomerang to check for dihedral. If you forgot and chose wrong, turn it over. Choose a Finnish birch plywood 1/8 to 1/4th inch. The more plys the better. Baltic birch, Marine grade are possible substitutes. You want to make sure there aren't any voids that will create stress points.

No electric saw. For the sanding use a rasp bit for the rough shaping, then a sanding drum bit for final sanding. You don't need a lot of plywood a 2' by 2"2'inch square with roughly a 1/8' thickness. is enough. You can probably find it it at Hobby Lobby.
