Is consistency important to you? If you run it at free speed, there's no headroom for speed control.

Would this be enough to launch a frisbee a reasonable distance?

What's your wheel diameter?

Theoretical frisbee exit speed in mph (no slipping) is given by

pi*d*s/2112

"d" is wheel diameter in inches.

"s" is wheel speed in rpm


If there is slippage between the wheel and frisbee, the exit speed will be lower.

If there is slippage between the chute and frisbee, the exit speed will be higher.
