Boomerang Elan V2 Thunderbird
Pre-Order, container tentative arrival date Aug 2022
Boomerang Elan – Twin Boom, Turbine Terror.
Sharing design DNA with the Boomerang Sprint V2, the Elan is the larger counterpart to the Sprint V2, spanning an impressive 84 inches tip to tip, and ready to light up the skies with 80 to 120 class turbine power. Powerful, fast, and well behaved in all regimes of flight, the Elan is the perfect choice for pilots in search of stability and speed, punctuated with aerobatic flair in this gorgeous twin boom design.
Constructed with a composite fuselage, boom and center wing section, the Elan adds excellent levels of in-built strength, with the outer wings and tail pane constructed with a fully sheeted plywood design. Covered in genuine OraCover film, the Elan is both gorgeous and durable, offered in multiple high visibility liveries that are easy to track in the blue skies above.
Adding excellent value to this potent mix of speed and fun, Boomerang RC includes a complete set of electronic retracts for true aerodynamic perfection. Further this with electronic braking capability, landings are even easier, allowing for shorter distances on touchdown with active electronic braking.
Thanks to its generous wing area and centerline flaps, deft low-speed control is unparalleled, making low-speed approaches a seamless affair. Pair the full span ailerons for rapid levels of aerobatic maneuverability, the Elan is both agile & nimble, offering excellent control in all regimes of flight.
Offering a generous access hatch for ease of accessibility, the Elan comes equipped with a composite 125 ounce fuel tank, equating to extended flight time for this amazing machine. Fully fueled, the Elan is a short field performer, with grass field takeoffs at the ready.
Despite its size, the Elan breaks down easily, allowing ease of transport in small vehicles and compact storage at home. Quick to assemble, the Elan can be at the ready in short order, proving epic levels of high speed flight, coalesced with heavy G loadings thanks to its robust overall build.
With a fighter jet like appearance, the Elan lives up to its looks with speed to spare. Whether opting for an 80 sized turbine or a monster 120, the Elan is destined to deliver, with the latter 120 sized turbine ready and waiting to scorch the skies above.

Customer Reviews
I had a Pilot viper jet for my first turbine jet. I let it get slow on the base leg and it tip stalled and crashed. I then ordered the Elan so I could use my KT142. Delivery was fast! I believe it shipped the same day. When it arrived, the nose was damaged from shipping. Greg at Boomerang took care of me without issue. The woodwork and covering on the plane is nice. The glasswork is not the best but it's acceptable. I'd like to see the instructions updated and maybe some more pictures added. I ended up making a new equipment tray. The one supplied had a bunch of slots and holes which ended up being in the wrong place for my setup. I'd rather see a tray with no holes. It's not a big deal to make a new one though. The build time was around 60 hours. If I was to build another it would take probably 40 hours. All in all, I'm very happy with the aircraft. It's flies with authority and launches off grass with the 142. I stuffed the UAT up front with the batteries and put the KT turbine battery up by the nose. It balanced out with no extra weight. Throws and CG so far have been spot on. Aircraft is easy to fly and land it just takes time getting used to dealing with turbine lag with jets. I should have listened to others and bought this jet for my first turbine jet. Happy flying all!
Just open the box everything looks great
Just opened the box and inspected the Jet, everything looks great. If it flys like the one I had before, I will be happy. Thanks Greg for the Delivery to the JOK. John
very nice flies well good shipping
This is one of the best training jets I ever had. It can fly F3A-F3S 3D and free style manoeuvres.
