Does the plastic type affect flight or just grip? In others words, will my fission Tesla fly exactly the same as my neutron, proton, and plasma ones will, given all other variables (weight, wear, etc) are identical?

I'm gonna have to agree with what Aim always says. It has everything to do with the plh not plastic type. I've had variations with each plastic and plh has been the biggest difference in my personal experience.
Examples: Two proton Volts, both green, both 170's. One is regular OS Volt flight, very flat with higher plh. The other has mild dome, lower plh and flew dead straight with little to no fade of the shelf. Same experience with Neutron. Plasma Volts have more dome and lower plh which lends to their straighter less stable flights.
Mids are another story. Still don't understand why a domey Vector is more stable than a flat one
I'm not sure you read what I wrote but oh well.Different plastics cool different causing plh variations. So it does have plenty to do with different plastics.

I read exactly what you wrote. You said it has everything to do with plh and nothing to do with plastic type. but the two go hand in hand more often than not.
I think what he meant(and what I was also trying to say) is that both plastic types can have plh variance.
Yeah the PLH makes the biggest diff.
But in my experience it goes
Proton - Neutron - Plasma - (then I assume Fission is least stable as its lightweight)
No, Fission, weight for weight, seems more stable on the discs I have tested it on. Thats a bit different than the disc being lighter and allowing the thrower to over speed the disc.
Eclipse, proton, fission, neutron, plasma.
Having only thrown one driver in Electron, I am not for sure where it stacks into this, but it seemed more stable than I expected.
mvp is not consistent enough to have no plh variance in a plastic type? lol. But jokes aside, I would assume most people that know of plh understand that ALL plastic types will have plh variances.

Proton, Neutron, and Plasma all use the same rim material which is molded onto a pre molded core so no, MVP plastic types have nothing to do with PLH variance. Dome maybe, but not PLH.
There are a few outliers here. Some lower weight Proton molds in the 150 class have plasma agents in the rim but not in the Proton Core. I know I have some Craves and Virus with this combo. I believe the Virus had it as well but I never really grooved with that mold.
Virus, Crave, Vanish, Defy, Insanity all came out in experimental runs with plasma rims.
Yeah no real correlation between plastic and stability. Ive had OS and US variants (which is minimal) of all MVP molds made in multiple plastics.
Dome is/was always the easiest way to tell bc most mvp discs are flat.
