nice visual effects and editing, the trailing line thing could be cool to help show some fast planes or something
That visitor guy is so awesome! He should be a permanent team member of flitetest!
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.
Regards from an Ozzie
Indigenous Aus history is very difficult as very little information was recorded. Most knowledge was in story and song format and passed on verbally.
@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.
Excellent teacher! A lot of valuable tips that you easily forget to share because they seem "obvious" as someone with experience.
this guys awesome! how'd you guys find him? i feel like it was mentioned earlier but i cant remember...
Got the RC Airplanes Book! Really awesome, and I have recommended it to many people. Flite test, I hope you read this because you are really awesome at getting people into the hobby.
To build a boomerang, your going to need a boomerang😆😆
no you don't . but it will take longer to get the right design
i know. i was just joking
Same goes for a drill press.
To build a drill press, you need a drill press.
Gotta have money to make money
@@_BangDroid_ yup
Zelda doesn't have a boomerang, Link does.
Really cool, learnt a lot. Really surprised that the returning boomerang was never used as a weapon, I always thought it was a hunting tool as if you missed it came back. You really do learn new things everyday, thanks.
You Guys Inspired me to finaly Start doing something about my passion for aircraft, Now I am Flying Drones almost everyday, Building my own Spitfire from scratch and even created this youtube channel to post my footage progress tutorials and of course crashes.... XD
High Five... awesome tutorial
Dang, now I wanna make my own boomerang! Love your content guys! Keep it up
used to build a lot of these when i was a teenager, used to fly them on flat surf days or when waiting for the tide to rise, happy times : )
Hey, that book looks really cool! ;)
I printed the 3d model. It needed some weight to the middle but now it woks perfectly. Thank you for the woking bumerang!
Great vid. This is something I can and will do.
Having just made the boomerang, I can say it is amazing
Had one as a kid, 58 now and want to make one to play with again.
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.
Thanks for this episode and how to plans.
Good job on 1mil guys!
this is really cool
Am I the only one that wanted to see boomerangs thrown at a plane or two?
Why has no one taught you how to fly RC Planes yet. You are surrounded by the great minds of flitetest. One of the crew could probably teach you the basics in about 1-2 days.
Very fun video! You got me interested :)
Guys... You triggered my google home hahaha
Yeah, I couldn't get through the video without skipping past that part..
I was watching on my phone and it set off my own phone lol
AI Paradox!
Thank you guys
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.
"I'm Zelda"... *Facepalm*
learnt a lot👍
Sweet vid! I was wondering if you could make a video on the best starter drone that’s on a budget, keep up the great work!!
John-Paul Cunningham when you say drone, are you implying plane or multirotor/helicopter?
"let's check out Chad's shop because he's not here."
We love you chad!
"check out" otherwise known as "steal stuff from" ;)
I miss seeing these "Jeremy Builds stuff" videos. So great.
I'm going to make some of these with my boys and girl. They'll love them.
check out paint stirrer boomerangs, even easier to make!
you can also make tiny ones from the plastic lid of a coffee can and use them indoors.
Oh yeah, thanks. I forgot about the paint sticks. And the coffee lid is a great idea.
Will try to make tiny one out of Popsicle sticks.
make a building fly! shed, port-a-loo, maybe a multirotor gazebo?
Flighttest=rc superheros :) keep pushing guys
Nice edit
Awedome video meon 😎😎😎
Can I make a request? If you guys could make a little sleigh and reindeer fly in some form or fashion, with a santa figure in the seat, that would be EPIC.
Who else is on the US Boomerang team? I see Logan in live 90% of Boomerang videos
My first thought: New Video!
Just putting on old flitetest in background while I work, like the real oldies from Chad and the Tek Sumo. As I was paying this I thought I need to leave a message and say, me and my daughter (6yr old) built this. Then went to park, it flew pretty well. We had a lot of fun.
Wow I didn't now how easy it was to make a boomerang!
Nice clip
Good vid
Strewth, mate! :D
nice vid
I'm guessing Logan Broadbent is Gary Broadbent's son? I've met Gary a number of times at competitions in years past. I haven't thrown in 20 years or so due to a screwed up rotator cuff. I really miss it, boomerangs rock!
NICE RANG
nice... but what's the hoop on the top of the pole for? I'm guessing some tinywhoop outdoor fun?
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
For when you want to play catch but you don't like people. 😏
Are you talking about the returning boomerang or the weaponized one? Makes sense either way.
@@nowthatsinteresting4826 i prefer the returning weaponized one.
Actually Aboriginies did use returning boomerangs to hunt as well as non returning boomerangs although the returning ones were less common. They hunted birds with the returning ones. If they missed, it would return back to them.
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.
Ooh I like it
Hi guys left a message on another cast.
Could yous build or design a harrier jump jet and or a tornado swing wing
Both old British planes
Challenge set lol love the work
Im just curious why FT doesnt make any DIY edf scratch builds like Ben Harber and some of the others on the ft forums. The ducted fan technology has come a long way, and many of us prefer them. Or maybe plans for any in the future? Keep up the great work fellas.
A returning boomerang can be used as a weapon though... I've hunted grouse with them!
Bonkers idea, but this is the crew to do it: FPV camera on a boomerang.
Yay a longer video!!!! Amazing keep comming with the 10 min + vids! And where are the vlogs of alex and stefan i am missing them 😭
Digital Wolf RC I’m not
Layton Pratt 😢
6:38. "I haven't had lunch yet I'm starving."
Its almost unreal that they fly like that.
agreed, boomerangs are cool
You guys should make a plane out of a pool noodle
Saw someone in El Dorado Hills, CA. with a "Flight Test" license plate on a big pick up truck.
In elementary school we were playing with a boomerang . Ended up with a trip to the ER and 30 stitches in my forehead. I'll stick to planes and quads.
What.....................boomerangs really return?????
Yay now I can finally play catch with my dad
I'm glad someome brought up that the returning boomerang was not a weapon !!!! Thank god
What happened to the weekly vlogs? And Alex and Josh..... Is flight test dieing?
And full of plugs. I used to hangout waiting for the next episode.... always keen to see whats next, getting over waiting! You have alot of very loyal followers.... keep us up to date with whats happening!?!?!
@@01kiwijim right! Watching the weekly vlogs Alex and TJ is kind of the big driving force that got me into fpv and starting a RUclips channel and pursuing this hobby path that I'm on I miss those days thinking about it I understand with flight fest Texas just going on but what about the rest of the time before million substhis channel was good it was fun to watch they hit a million subs they did the a-10 thing and then now it seems like a video of month maybe one a week if we're lucky
I really dont know what is happening and I hope it's nothing serious... But, if it is nothing important, these guys should remember that everything they got (the webshop, the events, the new palatial headquarters etc) they got thanks to the youtube channel! It is NOT a good idea to let it go nowhere ...
Appropriately, Jeremy is wearing Captain Boomerang's coat.
Fantastic work, guys! Really nice!!! 😃
You will do a Boomerang video but no model rocketry? You could have drag race two rockets using the same 18mm motor...the first one to launch gets a point, the one to the highest altitude gets a point and the one to touch down first gets a point ...now the winner of each Heat flies against the other competitor until everybody's had a chance to fly...
Could you guys bring back the FliteTestGremlin channel? I miss those little videos.
what varnish or clear coat to seal the raw wood d'you recommend? thanks
while the Aboriginal's made hunting boomerangs, they also made these recreational ones, in fact I remember one of them doing a demo at our school and every throw it came right back to him, didn't have to run around to catch it like these pro's, lol, and it was hand carved with traditional tools also, really talented to watch.
Can you make another episode about how to make a three wings boomerang?Please.....
will you sell this book as well as an EBook version in the future?
Could you guys please make a build video on a mini MIG 29

I challenge you with a crazy build. A planes that flies from a model rocket
讚!🤩🤩🤩
棒!
Well-done episode. The fun you guys had really came through. :)
Can we do boomerang with PVC sheet
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back?......... A stick.
I’ve wanted to build something for a while now and I haven’t had any good ideas. I think I just found my next project
Me too
Boomerangs are super fun and simple. I made one back in 8th grade in about 2 period and it flew around the baseball field and then hit me in the stomach.
So you expect me to have huge amounts of wood and an electric saw?😂 No lol all i have is some cardboard.
@Ethan Collins you only need a rotary tool, a cutting guide like www.amazon.com/Router-Rotary-Locator-Cutting-Attachment/dp/B087V5PXP4/ref=sr_1_42?dchild=1&keyword a spiral saw bit. 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.
Can your make with three wing
Thank you for making my Google home go nuts!
thx for the vid! wish i would have had this a couple of years ago, though. i bought a boomerang, had some fun with it, and then the worst thing happened: it went straight up, then came straight down. when i got to it it was sitting there, nice and in two pieces. i plan on getting another one soon.
Def make your own if you get a chance!... its a ton of fun and super rewarding! ;)
What's with all the crap comments? This video was great. Love the variety. Also fun to nerd out on the dynamics of how and why boomerangs fly the way they do. I know that balloon park in his competition vids. Is he out of Albuquerque?
this video gave me an idea
so
get a boomerang or make a plane that flies like a boomerang
then
get the motors and make them pusher motors on the very edges of the craft
now make it so it flies like normal
then
you can basically make the engines yaw so hard that it now flies like a boomerang
and with no control from you other than engines making it spin
have it fly back to you
NICE cheap easy
That's the secret! 5:13
Hi lodz im from philippines
Im your pans😊
I like a boomerang
How do y’all find something so extremely exciting as catching a stick lol?
How do y'all find something so extremely exciting as kicking a ball into a goal?
People like different things. Luckily, not everyone's the same :)
I Brook finger caching a bommerang and brused up my arm on other bommerang, they're dangerous.
But fun I still play with them and contenune to hert myself.
HERE!
Cool
I'm glad their date went well.
When you go for the High fives but you get a hug instead 9:54.
3:08 wait... you appologies now?! my ears bled nnd my eyes cried when you marked the boomerang shape on the wood just a few seconds before TT
i hate marker's noises like that... that and brush noises...
lead tape?
