I know these are VERY limited, but has anyone thrown one of these yet? I've gotten the FX version, which is a SUPER overstable Firebird. I was thinking it'd be straighter than a normal Champion Firebird(was I ever wrong). If the FL version of the glow CFR is straighter, I might try to find one. Anyone know?
It would be sweet to see an FL and FX in the "SB" plastic. I bet that would be a dead straight flyer and hold up great.

Yea I know this has been covered a billion times and Im sure someone is gonna get upset its on here again but all I am wondering is the FL straighter than the regular Firebird?

Yes, it is a little faster and it goes longer before hyzering out. Still very overstable but a little less at high speeds.

Are yall talking about the Glow CFR version or just in general FL vs. FX?

I have only thrown the CE versions, but the mold differences should translate to different plastics. The FL will be a little bit straighter at high speeds.

I just got a 171 glow FL x out. I throw(threw) the CE FL and FX and the original Proline (Marked F, i believe it is an FL lip)
These glows are STRAIGHT! Maybe as straight as the 165 CE FL I am now carrying. I have only played a couple of rounds with it, but it will be my go to Firebird after I learn it a little more. Plus it glows, that is a big point now that the days are getting so short.

So the Glow FL is pretty straight, huh...now if I could only get my hands on one! I'll be checking eBay and some other sites.
I wouldn't depend too highly on the glow of the disc though...it's pretty hard to see. If you use the bobber lights though, it really doesn't matter what your plastic is and they don't affect the flight at all.

I got an x out for 13.95 from discgolfvalues. The champion glow discs work great too. I played a glow round last night, and never spent more than a few seconds finding it.
