Collapsical Traditional [TB396]

David Schummy made this innovative folding traditional
boomerang for Max Hoeben in 1982. The traditional boomerang
was made out of 6.5 mm Birch plywood sliced into 4 pieces.
The sections are attached with metal hinges. Each hinge has
6 small screws. The hinges are placed so that the blades
fold up at the elbow and down on both blades. This boomerang
takes a tricky release to keep the structure stiff and
straight in flight, but it does work. The underside has ”
Made for Max Hoeben ; 23/10/82 ” and the boomerang is
signed. Only a few of these boomerangs were made. This one
is in very nice condition.
