Hello guys, Nice job! We are experimenting with your setup and are having some degree of success. We have about 10 3/8 compression gap or 5/8 compression and we find the frisbee shoots straightest when the angle on the side ends with it being inline with the center of the last wheel. We do see that it goes straight , but if we make it a 1/4' longer it goes farther but not quite as straight. We also tried the gap between the two wheels at 1/4 " and with the centers 2" apart. It seems that the closer the wheels the farther it goes. We had the first wheel at 5K and the second wheel at 15k. Could you share your settings that worked best for you? Thanks. Again awesome job!
