Figured I'd make a thread for just the Alpha. In time the MINT thread will be about more than the Alpha and I want people to be able to find the info they need about the Alpha somewhere else.
We've just released our 2nd Run and have found it to be a little less high speed stable across the board. The disc is now also down to 165g and the domes mostly came out flatter which is why we are starting to see the straighter flight at high speeds. I think this should make the disc a lot more accessible. These slight differences in flight between runs is a large reason I wanted to pursue using the Serial #. As a long time user here, my biggest goal was to create something where we gave you all the information you needed to buy your favorite version of the disc.
Here are some links worth checking out if you want to learn more.

The Serial # database will be redone soon so that it's easier to access/sort. This will have to do until we have more than the Alpha![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
