I don't NEED another thunderbird....
Me neither brother. Here's my unused Thunderbird backup collection. 1 Glow Champion, 2 Luster Champion & 2 Star. All max weight.
I've got a max Luster Champion & a 166g Star (my main workhorse) in my bag.
If anything I'd like to get some more 165-166g Stars as backups.
I've been a long time PD thrower, but I am intrigued by the thunderbird. I have read most of this thread, but wondering if there are any PD throwers that converted to the thunderbird. Mostly looking for a little more glide and the availability of Pro and Dx plastic piqued my interested. The PD not being made in P-plastic definitely has me leaning toward a switch. Maybe the arm is just getting too noodly for the PDs, but it seems they are more stable than years ago when I first started throwing them. Any converts that went back to the PD? Is the thunderbird stable enough in the wind in star plastic, which seems to be the most stable?
Max weight luster is the most OS thunderbird, in my experience, but I haven't tried a MF thunderbird yet. Luster thunderbirds are plenty OS to fight a little wind. Depending on your arm speed, they may fly like PDs with a little more glide, though.

That pink-purple one looks amazing!So the halos do vary in thickness, my red one has a much wider halo than the blue.

I've heard that champion is truer to the numbers.My champion thunderbird is also very over stable. I am going to try pro plastic next...
So champ is the way to go? The two star thundys I have are too overstable for that spot in my bag. My first star thundy was money, but these latest ones are basically beat sexy birds, which is fine, but not what I want out of a thunderbird.
Lately the Champs have been pretty beefy, the couple of stars I've bought in the last few months have been what I know Thunderbirds to be. But in a month, Innova, could make the pro's supremely overstable... Who knows.I've heard that champion is truer to the numbers.
