Hello,
A flying disc is a wing and as such has many characteristics that it is helpful to understand in order to throw them properly. Just like an aeroplane wing a disc generates lift when it is flying fast, and stalls when it slows down too much. Unlike an aeroplane however, the disc is spinning. What this means is that lift is not generated straight up, it's generated in the direction of the spin, i.e. to the right. Likewise when it stalls it stalls against the spin, to the left.
This explains the natural flight of a golf disc, at high speeds they 'turn over' to the right, at low speeds they 'fade out' to the left.
Armed with this knowledge, you can now understand a bit more about your discs. All discs will have two important speed characteristics. The first is how fast they have to be going to generate lift.
Please help.
Thanks
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
