Light Weight Indoor Models That Everyone Can Throw!
Shrek & Spiderman Tribladers
Price: $3 or 4/$10 or 8/$16 ;
Availability: 3 Spiderman + 11 Shrek

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: 52 RH (or LH)

The Air Dancer is a three bladed boomerang made for use in a large indoor room (gymnasium) or outdoors in light winds. The orange Air Dancer is heavier than the yellow and green Air Dancer, giving it a range of 12-18 metres. It is especially recommended for younger children because it is one of the safest boomerangs available. The Air Dancer is also an excellent boomerang for your dog. 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. The color is Orange (as shown).
Span = 31 cm ; Weight = 36 gm ; Range = 12-18 metres ; Age = 7+ ; Power = 5/10 ; Difficulty = 3/10 ; Left or Right Handed (needs tuning)
Bee Bee Whistling Boomerang
Price: $8 ; Availability: 1 RH

The Bee Bee Boomerang is a soft foam triblader with a whistle embedded in each blade tip. You have to throw it hard, but it does work well if you add some dihedral to the blades. Has the same design as the famous Wham-O Nerf triblader, but with added whistles. Dogs love this one! New condition. The remaining boomerangs are the color red.
