Glow Z Buzzz Stability

[RebelZero]

So, the search function is pretty useless when the word "Buzzz" or "Roc" is in there. The results are too numerous to sift through so I'm just gonna ask. I apologize if this is an oft answered question.

Is the Glow Z Buzzz noticeably more stable than the Z Buzzz? If so, how close to a KC Pro Roc is it?

Thanks.

Yes, and not very.

Not in my experience.

Speed differences aside the most overstable Buzzes I've thrown (178-180g regular production Z's, and one freak FLX) will show high speed turn out past 330' or so, where a new KC Roc will not. They want to flip flat from hyzer MUCH more than a fresh Roc does. They also do worse in a headwind, though they can manage a little breeze.

The most stable Buzzzes I've thrown didn't flip until past 360'...but yeah, not as overstable as a KC Roc. While Buzzzes are more likely to get some high speed turn in a headwind, they also penetrate on a flat line a lot better than a Roc, so it really depends on what you are trying to do as to which is better in a headwind.

The Glo Z is more overstable than most Z Buzzzes, especially under 330'. It is also slower than most Buzzzes, but this is not a negative as it is also more versatile and flies better on hyzer and anhyzer lines than most Buzzzes.

Guess the Glo Zs vary then, because i have two that take headwinds on flat releases without any turn better than any Roc i have. These Glo Zs are way more HSS and Teebirdish in LSS and flight pattern. Except my TBs need hyzer thrown into a headwind. I meant that these Glo Zs fly straight far and have a late abrupt moderately hard fade.
