The CAC Boomerang was an Australian fighter aircraft produced by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corp.
The CAC Boomerang was based on an earlier aircraft produced by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corp. called the Wirraway. It was developed from the North American NA-16 training aircraft.
The CAC Boomerang retained the wings and tail of its predecessor and mated them to a new fuselage. This enabled the CAC Boomerang to go from drawing board to a production prototype in only about 90 days.
The CAC Boomerang used a P&W Twin Wasp radial piston engine that produced 1,200 h.p. at lower altitudes. The engine of the CAC Boomerang was not capable of producing much power at altitudes above 15,000 feet. Compared to other fighter aircraft of the day the CAC Boomerang was under powered.
Although under powered, when the CAC Boomerang entered service in October of 1942, it was well armed. Armament of the CAC Boomerang consisted of four 7.7 mm machine guns and two 20 mm cannons. In addition, the pilot of the CAC Boomerang was well protected by cockpit armor.
The CAC Boomerang served in Australia and New Guinea. Some 450 CAC Boomerang aircraft were produced.

Awesome RC Products RC Airplane.
Radio Control Airplanes:
There aren't a whole lot of CAC Boomerang RC Airplanes out there, but one we found is an ARF.
In the first pictures immediately above and below is the Awesome RC Products CAC Boomerang ARF radio control airplane. The CAC Boomerang RC Airplane has a wing span of 40 1/2". The fuselage of the CAC Boomerang radio control airplane measures 25" in length. Recommended power for the CAC Boomerang RC Airplane can come from any Speed 400 size motor. Awesome RC Products recommends either a Himark A28-15 or C28-12 motor for their CAC Boomerang radio control airplane.
If you are looking for plans for a CAC Boomerang RC Airplane, go to Airborne Magazine. Their CAC Boomerang radio control airplane has a wing span of 72". To power the CAC Boomerang RC Airplane you will need a .60 two stroke engine.
The second picture below is of a scale plastic model airplane CAC Boomerang. The scale plastic model airplane CAC Boomerang comes from a LTD Models kit in 1/48 scale.
Oliver Lacombe built the scale plastic model airplane CAC Boomerang.
Oliver tells us that the CAC Boomerang scale plastic model airplane kit
has great instructions and excellent decals. The only difficult part of the assembly was getting the wing dihedral at the proper angle.
Special Hobby has a 1/48 plastic scale model kit of the CAC Boomerang. The plastic scale model kit has over 130 parts.
We are told that that the CAC Boomerang scale plastic model kit has a
very detailed cockpit and lots of detailed parts for the aircraft
engine. The scale plastic model kit includes very good decals and is for experienced modelers.
The last picture on the page is of the great looking 1/72 scale CAC Boomerang from a Airfix plastic scale model kit. The CAC Boomerang was built by Michael Johnson.
Please email us if you would like to recommend a CAC Boomerang radio control airplane kit, ARF, scale model, or plans. Have you built a CAC Boomerang RC Airplane or plastic scale model kit? Please let us know about it.
