Elan by Boomerang Jets

Most of our testing & development was done from our 80 yard grass runway ensuring the Elan had to have those characteristics typical of Boomerang models. Steady and solid in slow flight at around 20 mph. it also has exhibited a remarkable top speed over 190 mph. It has been flown with turbines from 14lbs upwards and extensively stress tested in all flight conditions. The Elan has caused a stir everywhere it has been flown.

The History behind Boomerang Jets
First designed by Alan Cardash in 2001, the original design for the Boomerang jet was to be a slower flying model than the currently available jet trainers, yet large enough to be easily seen in the air. It had to take off and land from a rough grass runway, and it had to be fun to fly.

From basic drawings to finished design, test flights and major flying events throughout the world, Boomerang has shown that this jet is capable of everything he set out to achieve.

The result has by far exceeded the original concept. This twin boom model, eight feet long with an eight feet wing span, is quite exceptional. The construction is conventional balsa, ply and light ply, with obeche skinned wings, and although it’s big, it disassembles easily to fit into a car. In flight, it feels like a cross between a trainer and a pattern plane.

Boomerang, the first jet trainer that can be powered by any 12 to 27lb thrust turbine. The prototype used a JetCat P80 and, later, a JetCat P120, Many owners use even more power but it can take off - and fly beautifully with a JetCat P60, or similar small turbine.

Capable of advanced aerobatics - including spins, snap rolls, knife-edge flight, tumbles, airborne motor shutdown and restart (with an auto-start turbine) - this aircraft has a slow speed performance that has to be seen to be believe and a fair turn of speed when flat out. Later versions were fitted with retracts and brakes, of course.

At the British Nationals in 2002, Boomerang won the prestigious Windsock Trophy Shield for the best flight of the day on the public display line. And at Florida Jets 2002, it won yet another exceptional performance award. Ali Machinchy, the outstanding UK pilot, flew it on both occasions.

Now the big version of Boomerang has taken a big step forward in kit terms. A complete redesign. The new ARF kit is totally new in every respect except for the amazing flying characteristics, which have always the most important aspect of every Boomerang design.
