As a native of Atlanta, one of the worst-5 allergy cities in the country, I want a study on how air pollutants, such as pollen, affect the flight of balls and discs.

speaking of aerodynamics and lift, don't planes have to go faster at higher altitudes to achieve the same amount of lift?
5mph is ~7.3 feet per second. That's a significant distance increase over a several second flight. But that's also at 10000'.
No, quite the opposite. We've had some Colorado folks head this way for tournaments and I've heard a number of them state their discs were were going flippier than usual at the lower altitude.This thread has still not answered the altitude issue. Do overstable discs become less stable and understable discs become ridiculously understable? I need to know for this weekend.
