Discs that fly like the Discraft Cicada
The Cicada is a straight fairway (7/6/-1/1). A very glidey 7-speed fairway with an Athena-like wing but a more understable flight. It flies straight with a little turn and a soft finish, flips up easily from hyzer, and gives easy controllable distance for most arm speeds; a touch less stable than a Leopard3 in some runs. Glow and Big Z runs read slightly stiffer than ESP.
