Ask Dave Dunipace About Innova Discs

[quickdisc]

Godzilla with Popeye style arms , throwing a TeeRex through buildings in Tokyo !!!!

Dave- Is there anything stopping you from making some new 9x mold Aviars? Like, if Kenny wins Worlds this year, 12x Aviars in a 9x mold?

There is nothing that prevents that configuration, but it would be called 12X or 13X depending. We are not likely to change the configuration at this time unless Kenny wanted a specific change.

[davidbihl]

Interesting so Ken picks the mold and approves the disc, that is cool.

[bruce_brakel]

We ran a short run that is available to tournaments. The weight range is 150 gms to 175gm. We don't have any artwork yet. I would have loved to have it out already with a T-Rex holding a disc with his tiny little front legs, but it won't happen for a couple of months unfortunately.

If your artist needs a good model, I have one left over from the 2001 Lizard Doubles! We did ours using one of those full color stamping processes and the dinosaur was drawn by a professional paleontology illustrator.

Dave,
I was looking through my clubs latest order and they had 4 ch. starfire. 1 of them was in the original SF mold before they were retooled to the SX. i throw al three molds(SL,SF,SX) so i could easily compare. how many of these are still around or are yall still using the old mold?or did i just get lucky?

I didn't know we had any of the originals left. We only ran them once and it was a couple of years ago.

No release date as yet. Probably later in the summer.

I've noticed that my 170G Star Wraith is more stable that my 175 Star Wraith. Is it because the added weight is in the thickness of the top and not the edge? Or just one of those things. The top is very stiff on the 175G (would make it a good forehand roller).

It is one of those things that actually could be what you suggested, but it could be other things too.

In flight and general profile the dx Wraith is remniscent of a faster, larger rimmed Valkyrie. I was wondering if you think it has a chance of beating the distance record?

It has a good chance. Good speed and glide, plus it stays turned over for a long time when the nose is down. Especially the Pro and lighter DX.

Thats a good one.

Dave,

I just picked up two Stingrays at a local sporting goods establishment, and the rims are different. Has the mold been tweaked? One rim concaves in a little before the lip, and the other is smoother and thicker.

[20165]

Dave,

Will you be running star Cobra's ?? Actully, my DREAM would be a KC Cobra!! Nothings better than STIFF Cobra!

[davidbihl]

Hey Dave
What do you think about these "newer" 11X KC Rocs, Do you think they feel anything like the Coveted San Marino Roc? do you think they will be heralded in 6 years as much as 8x and 9x and 10x etc...... actually I do not know if the 9/10x are that heralded but I like them. They are really stiff and a bit domey (the 11X).

I know I bought a 9x Roc out of a used box for 4 dollars in 2003 and now every one wants it cause it has rode in my bag for 4 years and is "aged" to a "high quality" flight characteristic. I think the 11X will be the same way. Do you throw them? Do "top" pro's stockpile them?

[davei]

There are two different Stingray molds. Ontario and San Marino, as it says on the engraving. The difference you are describing however, sounds like a molding variation of the same mold. The mold has not been tweaked.

We will run Star Cobras at some point. It is not in the schedule yet.

Unfortunately I do not throw Rocs, so these questions are probably better asked of the guys that do. I can tell you that the 11X are now the stable version made out of the original KC Pro Roc material.

[DSproAVIAR]

Dave, could you elaborate a bit on the "original KC Roc material"? How is the other stuff different? Thanks

[rhett]

Are KC Aviars being run in that original material now also?

[20460chase]

Hi Dave,

Id appreciate it if you came out with a Deer stamped disc. Apparently, they are pretty ticked off youve done about every animal and mythical creature, and they are now extracting revenge.
At around 8 am this morning a deer jumped through the plate glass window of our Pro Shop and thrashed about for awhile, leaving through the same window. Its a trip, and I added a thread about it to the misc. Just a warning, watch out, they arent happy.

[flynvegas]

Wasn't there an old Aero with Deer Brown Park stamp? Had a picture of a deer.

[discndat]

I think you're right - I remember that - it was Brown Deer Park and won the "hotstamp design of the year" once.

[20460chase]

Had a WhiteTails stamp or Bucks Co. stamped Aviar once I got from Yeti. It had a deer on it.

[davei]

The KC Roc and KC Aviar material is a homogeneous plastic, rather than a mixture of different plastics. It is an engineering grade plastic not meant for injection molding and does not mix well with our DX plastic. We did mix it with a little plasticizer for one run to give it a little more tack, but that was not popular so we went back to the original.

Hey Dave i'd like one of those Pink Bubble Gum Aviars you have stashed in your closet.Any chance I could get one? [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

[jugggg]

Dave,
Can you pretty please with cherries on top bump up the run of Star Rhynos to like now? [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
