Not really ! I would class this as very irresponsible flying ! Note at 1:56 time ( and 6:56 and 8:56) in close proximity to full size passenger jet plus flying on other side of the tree line ; out of sight at times........ This is obviously much too close in proximity of a commercial airport and near the arrival flight path. This is what gives our hobby a bad name.

stgle, the video is misleading - at this R/C club we have contact with ATC @ JFK airport and they know we are flying our models. This club has operated safe for many,many years. The airliners are thousands and thousands of yards far away from our flying- We have full scale Port Authority Police helicopters that fly missions with in a few yards to our club and we all get along- our spotters let us aware of any situation. May I ask have you flown at our fantastic club? let me please invite you as my guest so you can first hand experience one of the best north east clubs in the country. I understand your concern from the looks of the video, but its very misleading. Our team of members at this club are the most responsible I've seen. thank you

Sounds like a great place to fly and the members appear to be doing it right.
2D video always distorts distance perspective especially when you zoom in on a subject as was the case in the video. The full scale jet looked closer than it was and unless your there on the ground in real time you cant throw rocks at these fellas.

OK , OK thanks for the explanations fellas ... sorry I guess I did come on strong on the safety issue but I did have safety concerns as an incident could affect us all . Thanks for the safety explanation at your field. Good Luck.
Since this a Boomerang forum , lets get back to it. If that's ok with the rest of the fellas; Thanks

Well the clock is ticking and the boat is making its way to port. A coiple more weeks and I'll be shipping boxes out to all who have reserved their new Boomerangs.
I hope you guys are ripping up the skies.
Don't forget to take a time out tomorrow, 9/11, and remember all those who've sacrificed for us.

Gentlemen....I received a revised ETA on the first Boomerang shipment today. The new (and hopefully final) ETA is October 2nd to the Boston Port..
I am told this is due to bad weather en-route.
It takes a 4 or 5 days from there to arrive at my warehouse. As soon as it arrives I will begin shipping kits and parts to all of you have placed orders to date.
Thank you for your support and patience. Going forward we "should" always have your boomerang needs in stock.
Happy Flying,
Larry

Hi Guys....just an update for everyone who's waiting on their Boomerang. I received word today that we are still scheduled for arrival to the Boston port on Friday October 2nd. I'm told about 4 or 5 days after that for delivery to the warehouse and as soon as we unload the container I will be slapping shipping labels on the boxes and getting your Boomerang to you.
I want to thank everyone who has prepaid for their Boomerang of choice and I am looking forward to serving the Boomerang community for a very long time.
If you were thinking about a Stars and Stripes XL I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the next shipment as I have sold out of all of the Stars and Stripes version of the XL. I do have a few of the Tribute Edition XL's left. You can see it on the website at
www.boomerang-rc-jets.com

Great news Larry Congratulations
Dear Fellow Turbine Pilots,
I am pleased to announce that the heartache and sadness of knowing that you could no longer get a Boomerang Jet is a thing of the past.
My name is Larry Roper and I have been flying RC for over 25 years. A few years back I got hooked on Turbines after being introduced to them on a Boomerang Sprint.
Boomerang is Back J

Us Turbinators guys are a "Special Bunch". Don't feel left out but rather part of an Elite group.
I would love for you to come and Join us at the Plum Island Jet Rally. The dates are October 9th through 12th and the address is :
24 Plum Island Turnpike, Newbury, MA
We have tent rentals available for $100 in a 10x20 slot. Let me know if you'd like to reserve a spot as I only have 2 left.
Campers are welcome but there are no hookups. We are also having a pot luck dinner on Saturday night and we will socialize around the fire pit in the evening.
Stripers Inn and Restaurant is minutes away and has rooms available.
Hope to see you there.
