I have had 2 Boomerang XLs and can attest to the fact that they are excellent flyers and very easy to land. Having said that, and with what I know now, I would have much rather have an Avanti. Sebart makes an Avanti XS which would be a perfect match for your engine! While I loved my Boomerangs I think the Avanti is a much better looking jet and, if it flies anything like the Freewing Avanti, a much better flying jet (I know, hard to imagine anything that flies better than a Boomerang). Experience with an Avanti is that it flies extremely well at all speeds, even dead slow! Makes for nice, comfortable, predictable approaches and easy landings.

There is a new Sebart distributor in the U.S. who is looking for orders for a container of jets coming soon.

I just ordered one earlier this month from these guys:

Here is a video of one flying with a Merlin 80:

And another video of one flying on a P-60!
