Light Weight Indoor Models That Everyone Can Throw!
Shrek & Spiderman Tribladers
Price: $3 or 4/$10 or 8/$16 ; Availability: 172 RH

 
These large foam tribladers are sort of a hybrid between the Air Dancer and the FunFly. They are the same size as the Air Dancer but they are cambered on the underside to make them very much lighter. They are flexible like the FunFly. The two designs are different. The Shrek has tapered blades that are narrower at the hub. The Shrek has a RH airfoil bias. Spiderman has symmetrical airfoiling, so it can be tuned for LH throwing. Both of these like added dihedral and positive angle of attack for optimal perfomance.
Span = 31 cm ; Weight = 15 gm ; Range = 5-10 metres ; Age = 8+ ; Power = 2/10 ; Difficulty = 5/10 ; Right Handed (needs minor tuning)
Eric Darnell's Foam Air Dancer
Price: $9 or 3/$24 ; Availability: 79 RH (or LH)

Put a penny in each hole to add 5 metres to the flight range. The Air Dancer requires tuning to make it left or right handed. Tuning is easy to do and instructions are included.

Fortune Circle X Stick & Flaired V Boomerang Set

(price is for a set of two boomerangs with one of each model)

 The Fortune Circle "X Stick" is a small plastic four bladed cross stick with a reinforcement ring. It has a range of about 10 metres and it works remarkably well when you give it moderate power and lots of spin. It does not require tuning. The two bladed design is called the "Flaired V". The Flaired V requires some tuning (bend the entire boomerang flat and then add positive angle of attack). The Flaired V likes a light throw with lots of spin for optimal performance. Colors are Red & Yellow.
