When you find a way to solve the issue (which I think you will), I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one eagerly awaiting to know what causes the "off angle" exits of Frisbee. Much appreciated if you don't mind.
I believe the spin comes from only one side of the disc being spun. Because the force is exerted on the right side of the disc, the frisbee will curve slightly to the left. That's just my theory.
