Design
The new Boomerang has been fully revised for 2001 and beyond from the original
Boomerang, the most successful competition glider of the past 3 years. Its pedigree is second-
to-none. Improvements have been made to the handling, glide ratio, maximum speed and take-
off characteristics. This has been achieved by the introduction of several new technological
features, such as the patented Rigifoil System, new computer software to optimize the shape
at the nose fo the glider, and a new planform to optimize sink rate and handling.
Construction
Extreme care is taken during the whole construction process of all Gin gliders. Each glider
is assembled by one operator, to ensure consistency and accountability. The lines are cut
under load with a specially designed robot to achieve maximum precision, and each line length
is measured electronically at the end of the production process.
Using these design and construction techniques, Gin has reached a new standard in glider
design, manufacturing, safety and performance.
Brake line adjustment
The main brake line lengths of the Boomerang correspond to the tested results of ACPUL. You
may only lengthen them to suit your harness, body and flying style. We strongly recommend
that you test fly the glider after every 2cm of adjustment. Bear in mind that these line lengths
have been tested by some very experienced test pilots, they should be changed only a small
amount. We recommend a double sheepshank or a bowline knot for the brake handle
attachment.
