Hi folks,

Just completed a Rutan Boomerang model for FMS.

Loved the asymmetrical airplane design. Just looks so cool!

Assymetrical airplanes are not only great to look at. If you read more about the reason why, you see that they can be better than conventional airplanes... for some tasks.

You canread about it at my site at . I hope it clear out the reason why.

Hallo Ggunners,

does your Boomerang model also have the assymetrical engine-power-setting?

[ggunners]

nestofdragons,

Yes,

I adjusted the left side prop to be slightly less thrust by making the prop size slightly smaller. Feel free to play with the parameters.

I disabled the left motor and found I needed to change the prop rotation to LEFT on the right motor to fly straight and level so I've changed the .par file. Take-off, cruise and landing with the right motor only were just slightly underpowered compared to 2 motors.

Disabling the right motor and running on the left motor only, I change the left motor rotation to RIGHT and still had a right turn tendancy at take-off but it disappeared at speed and did not seem to affect cruising or landing.

I really like Mr. Masuoka's .par editor mentioned at the start of this thread, and will be working on a tutorial on how to use it when creating a new model.
