Line knots or tangles
If any problems occur at the take off, abort the launch immediately by stalling the glider. On
steep launches stall one side of the glider and run parallel to the hill (if you´re not yet
airborne). If you´re already in the air, be sure you are clear of other gliders and the ground
before you start correcting any error!
Counterbrake / weightshift to the opposite side and pump the knotted side with your brake.
Be careful not to fly too slow to avoid a stall or spin. If the knot or tangle is too tight to pump
out, immediately fly to the landing zone and land safely.
Tow launch
The Boomerang has no tendencies towards deep stall/parachuting. Therefore we allow tow
launched flights with a similar technique as described above. There is sufficient margin to
countersteer the glider in a normal towing situation. Make sure you use proper equipment,
experienced personnel, the recommended techniques and all relevant safety precautions for
towing.
Motorized flight
The Boomerang has not been certified for motorized flight at the time of writing. However,
motorized flying has been made with great success due to its very easy take-off
characteristics, high performance, stability and extraordinarily good handling. Always use
certified combinations of engine/harness/glider. Always check with your federation if in doubt.
Flying the Boomerang
Once in the air you can enjoy the superb performance, high stability and safety of the
Boomerang. Not only does it have fairly high trimspeed, but due to an optimised combination
of airfoil and air inlets, it accelerates forward with every disturbance in the air. The handling
in turns is direct and well coordinated in all axes. The climbing ability in thermals is as good
as glide. Minimum sink is very low and useable even with a lots of brake input because of the
flat polar curve. In comparisons we have found that this glider excels in overall performance
again st most competition gliders from last year. It is indeed a step into the 21st century and
we are proud to have you take part in it.
