Probably the most essential part of construction is giving the boomerang an angle to the wind. When the long arm is lying flat on the table, the short end should stand about 1 inch away from the table top.
To throw the boomerang, hold one end (it does not matter which one), and then fling it out straight or at an upward angle. It can take several different possible paths of flight. For example, if it is thrown against the wind, it might sail along flat for a while, suddenly rise as high as a house, and then finally return to the starting point. If it is thrown with the wind, it will not return.
Never throw your boomerang from the midst of a group of your friends, nor when there are people standing anywhere near the spot where it may return. 84
You can make a small model boomerang out of a piece of cardboard and observe its path of flight. In this case it is important to make one arm a little wider and shorter than the other and to twist it at a slight angle to the long arm. To throw a paper model, lay it on the edge of a book, and flick a pencil sharply against the extending arm. It will shoot up, turn rapidly and then approach the starting point in a large curve.
