Your best bet to determine any of this is to put together something with a launch speed in the desired ballpark and test the desired shot. Then you don't need any math beyond knowing how things scale. We have run all of our tests off of a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) so that we can adjust the voltage to get the desired launch speed. Knowing this speed makes it much easier to design the final mechanism, and we haven't needed any frisbee flight models, only repeated testing.

Of course, we are not simulating any shooter spin down with a UPS, but as already mentioned, leaving headroom for speed control should take care of this.
