To Make the Pushrods to the length required;- 

(1) 

Make a 90 degree bend in the wire at the length required 
to meet the output hole in the servo arm with the servo 
centred. 

(2)  Now make a second bend off at 90 degrees to the first one, 

left or right, in the wire at approx. 3mm away from the first 
bend. 

(3)  Straighten the wire by gripping each side of the “Z” bend 

with pliers and slowly turning until the ends are in line. Now 
cut off the excess wire. The output hole in the servo arm 
may have to be drilled out to accommodate the “Z” bend 
wire passing through it. Adjustment of the pushrod length 
is carried out by adjusting the clevis along the threaded 
part of the pushrod. 
An extra pushrod is supplied to allow for possible error.

Cut away covering film.

A custom Sullivan 3.7 litre fuel tank made for this kit is 

available from your Boomerang Jets dealer. Otherwise it 

is possible to fit any container from 2 litres up by 

modifying the fuselage formers as required. Ensure that 

the tank is well secured by using long cable tie wraps 

through the formers. Do not simply depend on the tank 

bay floor for this. A full tank of fuel weighs anything up to 

8 Lbs (4 Kilos) and in a negative G manoeuvre can exert 

considerable upward pull.

Clean up the front opening of the air intakes as necessary.  After carefully 

stripping away covering from the small cutouts in the upper fuselage use 

the air intakes as a guide to how much covering to remove from each side 

of the fuselage, opening up the airflow openings each side and leaving a 

bare wood gluing surface just a few mm. smaller than the intakes all round 

ready to fix the intakes using thick CA glue. In addition the “FOD” protective 

mesh supplied can be added to the inside openings of all the intakes to 

prevent debris being sucked in by the turbine while running at high RPM. 

As with all turbine models, it is important to prevent this if you are flying 

from dusty or gritty surfaces.

Cut away the covering from the slots on top of the centre wing. Place 

the fuselage wing seat tabs into the slots. Mark the wingtop covering 

along each side where the fuselage sits on the wing. Remove the 

fuselage and carefully cut through the covering without damaging the 

balsa abd strip off the the film between the marks you have made.

Now strip the covering carefully from the underside edge only of the 

fuselage wing seat. Before finally gluing the wing to the fuselage, drill 

and inset the alloy dowels to the front of the wing,. These will slip into 

the parts No. 1007 supplied which should be epoxied to the former 

using these dowels to adjust their position. Drill a 4mm hole through 

the wing and plywood plate in the fuselage near the trailing edge and 

fit the blind nuts on the topside of the ply. When satisfied with the fit, 

epoxy the fuselage to the wing and tighten the bolts moderately with 

washers to give a strong wing fix. The wing is not designed to be 

removable.

able upward pull.

Clean  up  the  front  opening  of  the  air  intakes  as  necessary.  After  carefully 

stripping away covering film from the small cutouts in the supper fuselage use the 

air intakes as a guide to how much covering to remove from each side of the 

fuselage, opening up the airflow openings each side and leaving a bare wood 

gluing surface just a few mm. smaller than the intakes all around ready to fix the 

intakes using think CA glue. The air intake is glued to the fuselage only, not to the 

wing.

TRIMMING SET UP & FLYING NOTES 

Boomerang SPRINT is not tricky or difficult to set up. 

Set the Centre of Gravity no less than 10” (255 mm.) forward of the 

Trailing Edge for the first flights.   

Start with 5/8” up and ½” down Aileron (16 & 13 mm.). Elevators 5/8” 

(16mm) up and down. Adjust later to your personal preferences. 

The flap is very effective in slowing the glide speed. Set it up to drop 

as far as possible, to act as an airbrake. If you can add crow braking 

starting from half flap to full flap, to raise both ailerons about 15 to 

20 degrees, the slow flight and the descent rate on the approach is 

remarkable, with full control at very low airspeeds using slightly 

open throttle allowing a high angle of attack with virtually no risk of 

dropping a wing.   

Mix in 10% down elevator with the flap movement to prevent the 

nose rising as it is applied. If you have advanced mixing, this should 

return to zero from half flap to full down flap. 

SPRINT is capable of any aerobatics you care to try, including spins 

both upright and inverted, snaps, tumbles, rolling circles and loops, 

knife edge and very slow flight. 

The fuel tank custom made by Sullivan for us will give up to 15 

minutes of flying time. It can, of course, be only partially filled for 

shorter flights if you prefer. 

You should enjoy some good flying fun with the Sprint, just about 

the most stress free jet flying you can get!    Feel free to

IMPORTANT WARNING. 

READ THROUGH BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR FLYING YOUR KIT. 

Just as in any full size aircraft, any RIC model aircraft can be made to fail, be it a wing folding or a fuse­

lage breaking under too high a load. Model RIC aircraft have a maximum safe G limit. Because you are 

not in the plane it  is difficult to judge the G during flight, and it is very easy to exceed the limits of the 

aircraft. This is particularly important if you install a turbine larger or more powerful than the power band 

specified for that particular kit. This negates any airframe warranty straight away. 

All our designs are thoroughly test flown before the kit is released for sale. Turbine powered RIC model 

aircraft are  not manufactured to withstand unlimited G forces. When flying your  Boomerang Jet, be 

aware of the  high loads which  can  be in excess of  the airframes capability  to handle.  Respect  the 

airframe as you would when flying a full size aircraft. Fit a turbine only up to the specified power. 

Understand that if you perfonn a snap roll, wall, blender, knife edge loop or any similar manoeuvre, or 

pull hard on the elevator, particularly at high speed, you can over stress the airframe by up to15 G or 

more. At 15 G, the 27 lbs (12.2 Kilo) model effectively weighs over400 lbs (184 kilo), and though it may 

be  for  only  a  few  seconds,  the  strain  on  the  airframe  is  huge.  Your  model  may  survive  those  hard 

manoeuvres  a  few times, but  eventually the cumulative damage  will tell and  airframe  break  up can 

occur. 

It is common practice for any manufacturer not to replace an  airframe  which breaks in the air or upon 

landing. Manufacturers may replace airframes when they have noticed many incidences of the same 

failure and it is detennined that there was a design fault or repeated manufacturing error. If you break 

an airframe, and you are the only one to do so, then it is highly unlikely to be the fault of the manufac­

turer. Fly safely, and avoid full throttle operation other than at low airspeeds. 

RIC model jets are not toys!  If misused, they can cause serious bodily hann and property damage. Fly 

only in open areas, and AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) or BMFA (British Model Flying Associa­

tion)  or  your  country's approved flying  sites.  Follow all  manufacturer  instructions  included  with  your 

plane, radio, servo's, batteries and engine. Each kit is guaranteed to be free from defects in both mate­

rial and workmanship at the date of purchase. Warranty does not cover any component assembled by 

the  customer.  All parts of  high stress must be  inspected  and reinforced if necessary by a competent 

builder. 

Some parts should be  examined,  and if necessary,  glued again.  High stress areas such as firewalls, 

motor mounts, wing mounts, landing gear mounts, etc., are areas of high concern. Seek help if neces­

sary. 

In no case shall Boomerang RC Jets, LLC. warranty cover any product which is not manufactured by 

Boomerang  RC  Jets,  LLC.  The  liability  to  the  manufacturer  cannot  exceed  the  original  cost  of  the 

purchased item. 

Further, Boomerang RC Jets, LLC. reserves the right to change or modify this warranty without notice. 

In that Boomerang RC Jets, LLC. has no control over the assembly or materials used by the builder of 

the model during final assembly,  no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any damage resulting 

from  the  use  of  the  final  user-assembled  product.  By  using  the  user  assembled  product,  the  user 

accepts all  resulting liability. The kits manufacturers have provided you with a top quality, thoroughly 

tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and flying ability of your finished model depends on 

how  you  build  it.  Therefore,  we  cannot  in  any  way  guarantee  the  performance  of  your  completed 

model, and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your com­

pleted model.  It is the use�s responsibility to inspect each component for airworthiness.
