That's cool, bet it flies like a Buzzz.

Definitely looks like one, to me. Though the Vulture and the Thunderbird are very similar already, with the Vulture's bottom rim being a touch sharper in the hand.

Taller Banzai, maybe? Looks like one but a taller bevel instead of a bead.
New speed 9 coming out... Thunderbirdish, Orion LF'y, or more like an FD3? What do you think the flight numbers are?
Love speed 9's. Looks cool. Still waiting on my KC Pro Roach. :|

Vulture is noticeably less overstable than a Thunderbird in my limited experience. With McBeth's armspeed, I'm sure that could be a potential issue...
Also, McBeth mentioned the Vulture being larger diameter enough in that Jomez video that it made me think he wasn't a fan of that.
Yeah, he didn't seem to like the feel of the Vulture at all. Surprised that he was liking the Predator. Thought he would've been like 'wtf?'.
Seemed 'indifferent' to the Zombee too. I like the Zombee a lot but I don't have his BH.

Agree. Maybe McBeast wants a less-overstable FB, and this will do it for him...

I have a Champ and a Color Glow and they fly like Big Z Vultures, but that's the only plastics I've tried.
I didn't take the calipers to them, but they look to be the same rim width. PDGA actually has the Thunderbird as being .1 cm wider. I know what Paul means though, because while the Vulture is only listed as .1 cm deeper, it feels much larger in the hand then the Thunderbird.

I've only thrown Star Thunderbirds, but they take a forehand a LOT easier than the Z and Big Z Vultures I've thrown. Much less sensitive to turn with a little OAT than the Vulture.
While the rim is in fact slightly wider on a Vulture than a Thunderbird(which might be the big reason the Thunderbird is more HSS for me), I meant that the Vulture is actually slightly larger in overall diameter than a Thunderbird. Or Undertaker. The two Sparkle FLX Predators I have are also slightly larger diameter than most other drivers.

That might be it, then. Star Thunderbirds (from what I've read on here and reddit) were much more OS than other plastics.

Think of the Vulture as a longer Eagle vs a Thunderbird/PD/teebird

Another speed 9 driver? Between the pred, vulture, and undertaker that can basically cover all your shots? Unless they are trying to make a OS pred/firebird replacement that is more modern and comfy in the hand?

I really hope they don't take the Predator out of production. The flight is unique and great. I think it feels really good BH (better than similar options in its class) but took me forever to like it FH.

I can't see McBeth FH the pred. He has complained about other discs for comfort reasons in the past.
Also I doubt if they make him a FB clone it will be less stable than a FB. He didn't keep the FD3 in the bag because it wasn't as beefy as the FB.
