  • Do you think it's better to throw a two-wing rang holding the front or the back wing?

  • @cclementi6 The boomerangs are shown as an upside down "V" shape (as shown at the start of the video ).

    The right wing is called the throwing arm/ wing, the left is called the dingle arm/wing .Normally a boomerang is thrown from the right wing .The balsa wood is so light you have to throw from the left to get enough spin .Giant maga boomerangs 4'-9' across are also thrown from the left dingle wing in order to get enough spin.

  • @cclementi6 Typicly the throwing wing on the right allows for better aim and control of the angle of release , try both and see what you like .There are some boomerangs (big C shaped type ) that are best thrown from the elbow the top point middle. I threw boomerangs last night made from long paint sticks they are best thown from the elbow. Try all possobilities and fly them the best way for each type of boomerang.

  • I love your videos and find them incredibley helpful. Have you ever made a boomerang out of MDF board?

  • @NotNamedJones I have a few links in this video description , look at the how to make album . I havnt made any MDF boards have you ? What quality do you like about it ?

  • @NotNamedJones I just found your comment (not all are sent to me ) . I havnt made any from MDF board .Visit Boomerang Talk forum and see the info they have on that subject .

  • That girl was pissed!

  • the lady should know how to step aside so she wont get hit.

  • wow that is crazy awesome

  • I made one with solid state explosives inside the wings or arms. The booms then explode when they reach a certain temperature.

    We then dumped a box load on a village and it didn't take long for the villagers to start throwing them. The results were hilarious.
