How thick is the flight plate compared to the original?
I've seen and own a few wooden minis that they actually do the underside like a disc and my son has a few wooden disc trophies. But I've never seen one that actually had the underside done, usually they look like the top on both sides. Very nice work!
I'm assuming the flight plate is the thin region in the center (everything but the rim)? Though I don't have proper measuring equipment for it, by feel I'd say it's about 1/8" thick, where the original is less than 1/16." I left it a little extra thick on purpose, as wood gets pretty frail as it thins and lathe turning isn't super accurate.
That's what I figured. It would SUUUCK to get all the way to the end of the work and put a hole in the flight plate because you were careless. I guess then you'd have a wooden aerobie.
Is there any way to set up a guide arm parallel to your cutting tool, kind of like locksmiths use to duplicate keys, and make an exact scale model of your Beast?
Graphite or micro-balloons. It would only be good for a trophy as CF has a hard time withstanding shock. Its great with compression, ect., but will shatter with the sudden impact of a tree. I would try Kevlar before carbon.

OP, great job and I cant wait to hear how it flys! As said before, that would make an awsome trophy, great job!
