    can you send me a pictured illustration of what modifications you can apply to a boomerang in order to change its flight path? like that cut you made for it to hover at the end of its flight?

    I would like, for example, to make one that will do a large radius oval that doesn’t fly too high, and doesn’t hover (slow down) too much at the end… (i know it would be hard to catch, but it would look good lol

    I’ve been making boomerangs for nearly 22 years… once you get that much practice under your belt, you will be able to make them quickly, too.

    the material I am …
    the material I am using is 6mm Baltic Birch plywood. You want to use a good quality plywood that had hardwood layers of consistent thickness. Don’t use plywood with thick inner core layers and veneer on the top and bottom. The inner layers will be poor quality wood, and it will not be strong enough. The best flying boomerangs are 6mm or thinner. Thicker material will make the boomerang heavy and possibly dangerous.

    The router bit is …
    The router bit is either a 5/16 or 3/8 roundover – depending on the thickness of the wood. You can also use a straight bit if you want to handcraft the complete airfoil. This way you can make consistent blanks. I drop the bit below the surface more for thinner materials so it does not round the edge as much.

    Hello there, love this video, I think I’ve seen it at least 9 times now. Could you let me know the size of the router bits used for the edge and the airfoil? I wanted to be able to tell the guy at the hardware store the correct size they are. Thanks

    Those tools will work… part of the fun of boomerangs is making them. Don’t think you are wasting any time. You learn about working wood, and what small nuances make for better flights, etc. If you ever get over to the Rock Island, IL area, get in touch, and I will teach you everything I know.
