First mini Frisbee® introduced. 1968 Master Frisbee® developed. 1969 Moonlighter Frisbee® developed. 1971 All American Frisbee® appears. Fastback Frisbee® appears. 1972 CPI introduces the All Star model. 1973 Wham-0 introduces the Super Pro. 1974 First World Frisbee® Championships (WFC) at Rose Bowl. Victor Malafronte and Jo Cahow are Co-Champions. 1976 The DGA/Wham-0 Night Flyer appears. 1978 The DGA/Wham-0 Midnight Flyer is introduced. 1979 The Brand-X Golf Disc appears.

Discraft produces its first golf disc, the Sky Streak. 1984 Innova-Champion comes out with its first golf disc, the Aviar. Lightning produces its first golf disc, the P-38 Lightning. Dynamic Discs introduces the Super Puppy. 5 he kyPi " he Sky's the Limit'' By Ralph Williamson Collecting flying discs can have pin-offs such as collecting related items like T- birts, caps, disc event flyers, WFC Rosebowl Schedules, poster , and in my case, the Sky Pie mold. Tbi 400-pound solid steel mold its on two planks in my garage. The mold was given to me in 1987 by its owner Steve Hammett of Mount Vernon, Washington with the understanding Lhat I never u e it to produce more Sky Pies. You will probably not specialize in collecting flying disc molds unless you are the son of Superman and own a sturdy tractor- hauler. The Sky Pie Mold The Sky Pie was produced by the Hall Manufacturing Company ofLos Angeles, California beginning about 1957. Detailed instruction on how to play the Sky Pie Game were furnished with each disc. I have everal copies of the instructions. As your interest in collecting grow and space runs out, you may want to start specializing in one of the disc sports events such as disc golf. It's fun to collect periodicals like the PDGA's Disc Golfer Magazine, Rick Rothstein' Disc Golf News, Tom Schlueter's Disc Golf Journal, Rick Neil's International Flying Disc Collector's Association Newsletter and the various Disc Golf Club Newsletters offered by many clubs across the country. In addition, several other periodicals are available on Guts, Freestyle, Ultimate etc. Between 1974 and 1981, Wham-0 made a great contribution to world disc sports by sponsoring the World Frisbee® Championships (WFC) in Pasadena's Rose Bowl. My collection includes all the WFC program schedules except for 1974. Someday I'll get a "74" program from Victor Malafronte or Jo Cahow and my collection will be complete. Since there are still some holes in my collection, I am ometimes asked by people what th e missing discs are. Although I have yet to own an American Trends Pluto Platter (the manufacturing rights of which. were sold to Wham-0) by Fred Morrison, someday I will because there are several out there. But the disc I would cherish the most is theMotrison original hand-carved tenite disc.

The Photo Titles are displayed in the galleries along with their respective image thumbnails, as shown on the right. TITLE CONTENT Photo Titles are intended to be a brief description with just enough information to uniquely identify the item. Since the titles accompany photos, a shorter-is-better approach is prescribed. The pertinent information will vary from gallery to gallery, but it may include the manufacturer/maker name, disc model, mold, disc color, and/or lettering, label or hot stamp description. Titles can assume the context of the gallery the photo is displayed in. So, for example, a Sky-Styler disc in the Discraft gallery does not need to specify “Discraft” as part of its Photo Title.

Outline of strategic plan methodology to be followed Rauch briefed the Board members on the methodology to be followed to develop the update to the strategic plan. The members would be asked about what is WFDF`s hope for the future and how we can get there. The discussions will target the key strategies and tactics how to get there.

The first predicted the flight trajectory of a disc in two dimensions based on angle of attack and initial velocity input parameters. The second simulation predicted flight more accurately in three dimensions, taking the torque into account and showing the roll at the end of long flights.
