3D model description

Although this was drawn from scratch, those knowing a bit of boomerang history will recognize that this is basically a remix of Axel Heckner's Triller as shown in the Ultimate Boomerang Book. Or maybe it's a Lambda (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5198096) with a really long stub wing.

The wings are not swept forward as drastically, so it is not quite as aggressive. Depending on your tuning (wings bent up or down slightly), you can throw this like a fast catch (wings bent slightly downwards), or just use it for casual throwing (wings neutral or slightly bent upwards).

I've included both a "regular" and a "blunt" version. The blunt one has a more chunky airfoil which might be useful in high winds or if you want to throw really hard. I prefer the regular version for recreational throwing, though.

Edit: I changed the "blunt" version to something a little less radical. The one I uploaded first had way too much drag. This "blunt" one is slightly less drastic, and also a little wider.
