Hi: Joseph
I am taking it to the IN. JET JAM in about two weeks. I hope to get some video of the Boomerang in flight.
I was going to put a 127mm DynaMax EDF but it was wider then the body of the Boomerang...LOL I looked in to my junk box and found a 120mm EDF and mounted it.
The 120mm EDF just fit (after hacking away 99.999% of the turbine mount. The 120mm EDF mounts are pocking out the sides of the body on the jet......LOL
Yes, I do have a heavy duty fan mount to hold everything in place (keeping my fingers crossed).
I looked and looked for other Boomerangs with the same intakes I have and could not find any. I think someone put some kind of aftermarket intake on it.
I know it would not supply enough air to the EDF, So I started cutting away to make sure the EDF was happy on the air feeding it.
I picked up the Boomerang at a swap meet to help a friend learn how to fly Large size EDF's. I just was not sure if I could get it to fly as an EDF but it seems to be working out very well.

Thanks
