This tip is great for any boomerang enthusiast. Especially someone making several and needs to cut the time down. There are other methods to doing this that work just as good. You may want to check out flyingscience video on the subject as well.

So you heat it up and put the spacers on the bottom of the LEADing edge? Or you put the spacers on the bottom of in the middle of the tips? Please Help!

Thank You!

@JDMTurbonetics Leading edge :)

I may have ended up with too much positive angle of attack on that arm but it has dihedral now! Only throwing it will tell. That's for another day.

@JoeFromDayton Give it a day and it will almost go back to it's original shape but not quite. You always need to go that little extra in the bending process to accomplish the final result. Best

Great tip here, Vic. I was dreading having a sit down session with my boom to get the anhedral out of the lifting arm. Instead, I threw a clamp above the warp and propped it up with some boom blanks! I'll take it out later and check it in the morning.

@JoeFromDayton The vid I spoke of is in the video response to this video ;)

@supergooddeal Thank You!

@JoeFromDayton Hahahaha, very cool idea man. Have you seen my ITALIAN CURVE video? I built a device to do what you just explained. Check it out if you get a minute. Let me know how your experiment worked.

@supergooddeal Great - I'll look out for the new series soon. I've only just started building boomerangs - with mixed success to date! Hoping the dihedral will help - currently waiting for some decent weather so I can test them!

@GREE7107 Your very welcome. I've been making them long enough now that I don't need to do this anymore. I am more picky with how the wood lays before I even cut it out. I look for a neutral or positive dihedral in the ply then trace my design out on there. This way the wings will already have a natural lift without needing to do this heating method. There are also a number of undercuts to achieve the same thing. Soon I'll be posting a series of (how to build a boomerang) Peace
