Just received my first flat C-FD in the mail. I really like how it flies, but it seems to have a "plussy" rim. Anybody else notice this?

what weight? my C-Line FD is flat as hell, but it's light, and it doesn't have the + rim.

Mine is 167 yellow with black stamp.
Disc is so amazing, would be pissed/bummed if it had a + rim.

I don't see where they could be from different runs. I hope I'm not mistaken, but I recall that the rim on the FD is not a repurposed Innova rim like their other molds, and it seems to have more of that "European" feel. Part of the reason I like the disc so much is that it feels more like a River. And the line where the rim flashing would be isn't right at the bottom of the wing like Innova's discs (from what I can tell, this is what Prodigy is referring to with their "Quick Release Technology", something other companies have been doing for years!).

ive not seen any with plus rims.
i do believe innova will start integrating slight rim slant into every mold thought. sim to what ^rains says release technology. my ice bowl kc pro roc is certainly not square by any means compared to my glow roc. but no + by innovas standards.
most people love to complain about + pds but dont ever shake a stick at all the euro plastic that is plus molded, yet standard.

i have a S-FD that feels the same in the hand as most "american" molds, but the C-line had a totally different feel to it. some difference in feel was probably the dome on the S-line making the disc feel deeper, but when sitting in the hand, i couldn't get that confident grip from the flat C-line.
as a PD thrower who has unfortunately come across a few plus rims, i can say that it's all about consistency in feel. when i have 2 other PDs in the bag and i try to put in a plus rim, it throws me off. the same thing happened with a KC Roc i bought once. the second you grip it, it feels like "wtf is wrong here." if i'm buying a european disc that is supposed to have a slanted rim, then that's what i want, but this is not the case. if nobody else here says that they've come across a plus feeling FD, then i'll give it another try. hopefully it was an anomaly.

not trying to hate, just making what i thought is a funny observation.
i will say the first couple weeks with my cfd in the field, i was not sure i liked it. it seemed to come out early and as we know it is significantly more stable than the S. it wasnt till a got one 5g lighter that i really jived with it. so i get where you are coming from. i wondered if it had something to do with lack of dome as well, in combo with the plastic and being new.
in terms of the pd, again i was mad i unknowingly bought a +c, and i thought it kept slipping out early, yada yada. now i love it. i dont know if it was that initial C line breakin i had to get past or what, but i think ill be rockin that +pd till she no longer fades for me.

I think you're on the money there. Looking at my S-, flat C- and domey C- there is a bit of increase in the angle of the rim that coincides with the lower dome and higher PLH of the flat discs.
It doesn't bother me. I've used a few +molds and they've only tripped me up a couple times. Early releases, no more frequent than late releases with normal rims, except with the +mold I got something to blame besides yourself.
The nose looks blunter on the C-lines, but that's just an unrelated observation.

Bought mine last Saturday. It's 175g, stiff and flat one with pearly blue color and some bubbles inside the rim. Tried it on practice field yesterday. Yep, it's way more stable than my domey S-line FD, handles some headwinds and feels great but I need more time to figure out whether it can be fitted in my bag. I think I should have got a lighter one (~170ish)... though. If anyone is interested in trading your lighter flat CFD for my 175g, shoot me pm.

I've hit more metal with my SFDs than any other discs. I just picked up a flat 175g CFD. This thing is stiff! Can't wait to try it out. Sounds like I'll have to grab a few more, but in 170g-172g range.

I hope they made thousands during the run of the stiff pearly plastic with the bubbles in the rim. They just feel amazing and I'm not sure I would want a C-FD to feel any other way. I already have 5 stockpiled, adding about 1 a month.

i believe they did. i can say everyone at marshall st sat had bubbles.
also in terms of the sfd, i cant say any at marshall st had more or less pronounced dome. i picked up a 170 yellow that had a brother there. if you dont like it ill buy it from you. perhaps the best i can tell you unless you can give me some measure to go by. i feel they are not as domey as a 167 i had but i no longer have it to reference.

took me minute :doh:, then i started laughing. luckily though she still lives, just in the hand of noodle arm, cuz his 172g might as well have been a FB.
side note, ive never seen a hologramish silver foil, that my new one has. is that new?

Did I read some where that some new S-FDs were hitting shelves that weren't as domey as the initial run? Can anyone confirm or deny?
Interested to here if this is true....if so, I guess I will be stocking up on domey S-FDs.

I will gladly trade you any and all domey S-FDs for flat ones. Someone please find me a 167-170g S-FD that is on the flatter side. Not C-FD pancake flat, but no pop top. I don't want to go back to Leopards.

As good as the FD may be, reading this makes my Leopard heart cry a little. Why would someone be sad to go back to the Leopard... It's like a first love!
On a side note, what will Simon Lizotte's signature disc be? Someone told me already but I forgot, was it the c-fd?

I lost one of the first FDs I bought the other day... I cried a little.
