The design of this Rang was inspired by Melville’s book and is one the more difficult to throw and achieve an accurate return ( I can attest to this still!) *Not suitable for the novice. Throw Moby with a great deal of spin and snap of the wrist as you throw with a light to moderate amount of force 45 degrees away from the wind. Best if thrown in 5-10 mph wind that is not shifting! The flight pattern of Moby starts and stays moderately low to the ground, (ideally) spins very rapidly and may hover towards the end of its flight (as if being chased no doubt!).
- If you find that Moby tends to not come back all the way, try bending both wing tips up (dihedral lift) as well as twisting the dingle arm clockwise ( negative angle of attack) and the lifter arm clockwise (positive angle of attack). This should allow it to come back with greater precision. Make sure to throw it at least 45 degrees out of the wind when changing angle of attack too.
The flight pattern and rate of difficulty are comparable to the ‘Crescent’ Boomerang. This Sperm Whale takes a great deal of patience and requires a good sense of humor and sensitivity to the spirit of the elusive and complex Moby Dick!
