The Rutan Boomerang is an aircraft designed by Burt Rutan, whose purpose was to build a multi-engine airplane that does not become dangerously difficult to control in the event of a failure of a single engine. The result is an aircraft with an asymmetrical design. The Boomerang is powered by two engines, with the right engine producing 14 hp more power than the left one. The design of the Boomerang allows the aircraft to fly true without intervention even if an engine fails at low speed.
This model was originally created for G3 by Doug Kaye (DHK79), and has been updated for G4. There are only a few linking changes to the 3D model, and a little clean-up to the colorscheme (the bleeding between the windows can only be fixed by completely remapping the fuselage and redoing the scheme - i.e. too much of a PIA), but the physics were redone from the ground up to conform to G4.
Additional thanks go to Doug Schluter and Flip3D for providing assistance and feedback during the final flight testing and tweaking of the plane's physics.
