Like the Barnstormer, the Boomerang monoplane is also intended for home builders, to whom Fisher Flying sell through intermediary Wicks Aircraft in plan form for $65 or as a complete kit for $3720.
The standard aircraft is fitted with a twin cylinder 340 cc Kawasaki engine of 30 hp with 2.0 reduction which is less frequently used than the TA440 436 cc Kawasaki giving 38.5 hp, which is available as an option. A peculiarity of the Boomerang is that it is available with two different wings an option is to have an enlarged wing of 32ft (9.75m) span. Wing area is increased in proportion, which allows the aircraft to be used as a two seater, though it is then included in the experimental aircraft category and no longer qualifies as an ultralight in the USA.
Like Mike Fisher’s biplane, the Boomerang was also sold in the form of sub assembly kits: wing for $1175; fuselage for $585; covering for $425 and motor for $1450, in 1982.
