Shape: | Axel Heckner | |
| Application: | Aussie Round | ||
| Range: | approx. 50 m | ||
| Weight: | 70 g | ||
| Material / Thickness: | 5 - 6 mm Finnish Birch Model Aircraft Plywood | ||
| Profile: |  |
||
| Reverse side: | grind the front edge and the back edge | ||
| Weighting: | With a weight at arm 1 distances of nearly 80 m can be reached. When the flight line is too low, attach a weight at elbow or carefully at arm 2. | ||
| Wind: | 0-1 Beaufort, with weight at arm 1 up to 4 Beaufort | ||
| Throw: | angle to the wind 75°, angle of inclination 20 to 30°, angle to the horizon 0 - 5° | ||
| Flight line: | circular in regular low flight line | ||
| Tips: | If the Ikarus flies somehow clumsily, slightly more grinding of the front edge, especially of arm 2, will help. | ||
| Specialities: | flies extraordinarily far for a wooden boomerang, needs only light wind for a complete return. Made of 5 mm strength material, it flies approximately 40 m and requires slightly more wind. | ||
