(click pic to enlarge) The Burt Rutan designed and built Boomerang at Oshkosh 2011
After all the excitement we had seeing Burt Rutan's old mid 90's era Boomerang (the wild and super asymmetrical twin) at Oshkosh this summer, I was recently stunned to find a kit for the airplane is now available... and it's only $3.95! Ok, true, the Boomerang homebuilt you would construct from this kit is scaled down some (a lot), it's built from a revolutionary new material (it's paper), and it's performance in the air is not up to Burt's original (it doesn't fly at all) - but hey, it's only $3.95!
Seriously tho, this paper Boomerang model, available from EcardModels.com, is really very impressive. At 1:29 scale, it looks like that'll work out to a little over a 15" wingspan - certainly big enough to look pretty fantastic sitting on a shelf. A couple weeks ago I bought and downloaded the six page pdf 'kit', and I figure it'll make a great weekend project once the snow starts to fly. I've never built a paper model before, but after checking out the EcardModels website, I'm really impressed with what can be done in paper. The Boomerang is a difficulty level of 3/5 - I may be in over my head for a first project! There's a wide range of aircraft to check out, in a range of difficulty, and pictures of most all of them completed for you to see.
I'll put a detailed post together later after my own Boomerang is built. But I'm hoping maybe some of y'all out there will build something cool in paper as well. If you do send some pix and I'll post 'em : )

Paper toys are getting more popular these days. Certainly, that boomerang is more than the worth of its very low price of $3.95! I'd love to get my own from EcardModels.com. Please post asap after you've finished assembling your boomerang.
