Hi Mick - great to see the progress. Way too much work has been done to have it gather dust in the container, keep up the good work! Guessing you'll be needing the other wing at some stage?!!

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Paul, Richard is the brains behind all the great projects but it's nice to part of the team :)

The batteries arrived not long after my last post and it soon became clear that the Boomer wasn't...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Hello again. Work on the Boomerang has begun again. It's been so cold that nothing is growing outside so we have had a bit of time for once. The new port wing is joined with the internals in place...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Hi Adam

Short answer - no, not yet! However, it really isn't far away, I'll attach some pics. There have been loads of other projects going on over the last year including a whole lot of pilot...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Well, look what the rain brings out :D You'd need a boat out your way wouldn't you? The Boomer is coming along good-o and should be ready for a flight in the next month or so, if there's a dry...

Oh come on Dave, get with the technical speak :) Outies as opposed to innies. Had a look at the Lanc thread, great to see that going again too - noted the date, couldn't believe it's been 12 months...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Hi Dave

The plug for the canopy has been wet fine sanded over the last week or so and is ready to pull the canopy and frame. So yes it will have the canopy when it first flies. The plug for...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Mick, by the time the field dries out enough to use the plane will probably be painted and fully weathered!!! But if the sun comes out and she's ready to fly then yep, it will be just as it is out...

Another year almost over and the Boomerang is inching closer to flight. It's now sitting up on wheels - fixed u'carriage for the time being. The balance came out really well, not particularly taily...

The first moulded wing fresh out the mould this morning - and it fits :D Internals in place and the wing weighed 1.5kg. Probably a tad heavier than first estimated, looking like auw...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Just to clarify, the wings PLUGS are being made in foam, the actual wings will be hollow composites. And the pics which for some reason didn't happen the first time.

Well it didn't happen over night but it did happen ;)

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

I didn't get notification of your post Craig, little hiccups on the forums at times. Moving house is a pain but hopefully worth it when the dust settles. You'll love the spindle, good move.

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

It's so tempting to leave you hanging Craig :D , but to put you out of your misery ..... the first concern was the batteries to fly it. The plane will come in around 30-35lb which means it needs...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

The 1/4 scale Boomer is really powering on now and the 3 parts of the fuse mould have been made. It's now sitting out in the sun post curing. The wing plugs have been cut and panelling started so...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

That looks really cool, thanks for posting it. I think it's the little kit that Richard bought for reference of shapes and it was horrendously expensive but is accurate in shape. It's still in 1000...

RE: CAC Boomerang Project

Hi All

After some deliberation Richard has decided to leave the 1/5th scale Boomer for now and just do the 1/4 scale. We've had plans to do the 1/5 after the 1/4 was finished but there are too...
