Default Typical of a Boomerang Jet..........

I put the maiden on my newest Elan yesterday.
2 clicks of up trim and it flew like it was on a rail.
With "Crow" flaps it lands perfect and slow with no issues.
A boomerang airframe should be your 1st jet if you plan on getting into turbines.

if you have the money yes ultra is prob the best jet for the $$$$$
if had 2 elans they were so much fun
i had a close encounter with a tree with my first one that 2 days after loss i was already flying my second elan
if set up correctly with cg and geometry this plane will definitely fly on rails
i am going to pull trigger on second ultra light soon
keep it goin strong

I just flew the one you sold me . i had to rewire and put heavy dutey wire on the elevator. i also changed it to a 12 channnel 6volt systen which blew the hell out of that reverser on the lead going to elevator. fixed the nose and rewired the landing lights. and change the air system and brake to jettronic. but with that p-120se this baby hall ashes.. i think i paid a little to much for this jet ,that was untill i saw how fast and easy it was to land. 2 a123,s in nose and 3300mah lipo in rear of tank plus 15ozz. in booms made this thing as stable as it can be. also got rid of smoke system (it is not legal in N.Y(, homeland security ,blah,blah,blah..) but cupled smoke tank to main and i dont have to worry about staining because smoke side emptys fast.. well there it is Hoss. my new toy was fantastic and about 50 of my club members could not say enough good things about the way this plane ripped up the sky.
thanks
Big jim
p.s. we may never see this plane again so love yours like i love mine.

Absolutely Hoss. Even after you buy 5 more planes... the Boomer will always be there. Its Just the best GO TO Jet of all times. Ive had mine for about 7 years now and cant ever think of parting with it.
