Re: Frisbee Physics

There is a lot if information on the net about the physics. Here is one link.

But it is probably more useful to obtain empirical data on your particular launcher design than working from these equations. I think the science give you a good idea of what to expect, and how to influence the result. But might be difficult to use to evaluate a design without initial test data.
