[Latitude] Lat 64 Havoc

[Bikeknut]

Got a new one last week, and BOY it is FLIPPY! :doh: Like a seasoned sidewinder.

Anybody else's fly like this? Did I get a "FRANKENSTEIN" disc?
Color is blue, weight is 171, for those who want to know.

I haven't thrown a sidewinder in a LOOOOONG time, but mine is fairly flippy as well. I'd compare it to a fairly well seasoned pro wraith in its flight. Pretty quick to turnover, but with enough hyzer, it'll stay airborn and fade back hard.

 

[Bikeknut]

Sounds about right, except mine doesn't come back very much. Flips up and goes straight, then right, then comes back a somewhat. Flies just like a speed 12 sidewinder. I want something a little more stable....Halo?

 

[Apoth]

Haven't tried the halo personally, but the Riot is significantly more stable. Like a more stable wraith.

 

[Bikeknut]

Riot? Ok, I will have to try one. I love the dependability of my Wraiths! Thanks for the help.

Go with the Riot, like it has already been said it is like a Wraith. An Opto Halo is closest to a Z Nuke, maybe a little less glide. A Gold Line Halo is a slightly more high speed stable version of an ESP Nuke, again with a little less glide.

Agree with ^ but I get 5-10 ft outta my GL Halo and it seems to float a bit more than a Nuke.. could be the weight though, both my 171 and 172 Nukes are 174 and my Halo is 170

If you want something more stable, I can recommend a Flow. Havn't tried the Riot yet though. Loving Latitude 64!

 

[Bikeknut]

Don't get me wrong, I like my Havoc, just has NO predictabilty in a headwind. And it needs a bunch of room to work.

 

[Apoth]

The Flow won't be any more stable than the Havoc really. Great disc (I carry one for tailwinds) just not what he's looking for.

i thought it was a little flippy on my first couple chucks, but if you release it flat or a little bit hyzer it will fly very nice and fade at the end. it is quickly winning my approval.

I really like the speed and glide of the havoc, it seems to go a lonnnggg ways with little effort but it isnt very forgiving. i agree it sucks in a head-wind and if the nose comes up it stays that way... it doesnt correct much on that plane. i am finding the more I throw my havoc the more its like a high speed katana. it needs tons of room to work and turn if you want Max-D. Also I dont know what Halos you guys are throwing but mine are way more overstable than a nuke.. id put the havoc and nuke in the same stability category but I think the halo is more like a newer destroyer. personally, if I release the Nuke or havoc flat it will turn all the way over into the dirt for me. both need hyzer upon release. My halos arent like that. i can thrown a halo with Anhyzer full power and it will still come back for me.. When lat64 first released the havoc they said it would be a -1, 3 and now they are saying it is a -2, 3 which is way more accurate. maybe when they get beat in we will know more how they will act. No one has had a havoc long enough to beat in the opto plastic that I know of.. my advice, release it at 80% power with a tiny bit of hyzer and watch it go.. Its like a river for me, If i try to overpower it, it gives very inconsistent results but at a controlled 80% its very nice..
