I've probably got more hours in Boomerangs than anyone after operating them for over four years and they are a good sturdy reliable little trainer, I didn't want some plastic fantastic (many of which have been not exactly been huge successes for some now defunct flying schools).
I wanted something economical that would get the job done safely, last a long time, use tried and tested technology without gimmicks and fit in with a fleet of Pipers and the Boomerang has achieved that with the bonus of supporting Australian expertise and manufacturing.
As with the Tomahawk, many of the people who knock the type have not actually been using them day in day out and seen the results but went in with a negative attitude to start with and can hardly be seen as "experts".
Good luck Gary, you and the team at DW have built an aircraft up to a standard not down to a price and have always personally gone out of your way to provide a good service to your customers.
