I'll bet they have a quick and easy way to build them.
My first toss of the Boomerang did not go well. It went straight in as if it were very nose heavy and if the elevons were reversed. I think it was massively nose heavy, but will check the thrust angle after the repair is done. I redid the CG calc and found that the CG is just 1/2" ahead of the firewall. This meant the battery needed to move to the rear and that a deeper box needed to be built so the battery could sit right next to the elevon linkage. It was a pretty easy fix
