@WilhelmScream Thank you. It appears it does translate in English to Boomerang.
@MadBomber oh, ok, damn, still looks good though.
@WilhelmScream No it is of Russian origin and not sure on its translation to English. As far as moblie I'm not sure as I'm strictly PC for simpleplanes.
Is it Australian? If it is, the spelling is actually 'Boomerang' :) just curious. Also, does it work on mobile?
