DGA Avalanche was announced yesterday. I'm hoping it's right between the Tsunami and Hellfire (or a nice flat predator clone)

that stamp is super sick

The team guys I have chatted with suggest it will be between the Hellfire and Tsunami, but more likely feels like a raptor. Stability between a Raptor and Captians Raptor. Pretty beefy boy, but not hellfire silly.

I know this is the dga thread, and it sounds like the avalanche could be what you're looking for.
There are quite a few options for that glidey OS pred/tsunami type flight without as aggressive of a bottom wing. Kasta Stal is a good one, and if you like a bead on a driver the RDG Komodo is great too.

Come on! I finally had my bag sorted out, or so I thought. I have a feeling I'm going to be bagging an Avalanche as I find the CapRap to be too OS, and a regular Raptor to be not quite as HSS as I'd like.

I've heard nothing more about this other than a launch date, April 21st.

Every time I try something different in this slot I still keep going back to predators, so this one is going to have to be really good to win a spot in my bag.

I have taken preds out and put them back in so many times over 18 years. I think the touch of glide they have over most utility discs is so helpful at 5000'.

Was going to say nearly the same thing. Still going to try the avalanche though

I ordered 2 today. Hopefully they aren't FAF Firebird useless overstable, since one of the main features seems to be a very flat top.

I know there have already been a couple batches out (disc member, first flight and proto) but it does still sound like they fall between the Rap and CapRap. I havent watched it yet, but saw a video shared elsewhere that someone did a Firebird/Raptor/Avalanche comparison video for youtubes

that sounds right where I want it to be. I'll see if I can find that vid

Unbelievably disappointed in this disc. Less usable than an flat top firebird. Starts fading and gets vertical quickly, there's no carry once it really starts to slow down. I can easily throw raptors 30-50 farther with less effort.

I'd compare it to a speed 9 hellfire. DGA really missed the mark on this one, IMO.

The new tour series hypercanes are also flippier than the majority of hurricanes. I am wondering if some consistency issues are starting to plague discraft, or maybe just what they make for dga.

that's wild, I am trying out the Venom because the FF hypercanes I have will beat any wind but are way too much to throw when there isn't any.

some people online are saying the avalanche has 'pushing stability, between a raptor and cap raptor' but the two I got must be defective then, because they immediately try to move left and try to turn vertical pretty quickly on the lss portion of the 'flight'.

maybe it is inconsistency, but either way I'm sticking with raptors or predators because I still like my overstable discs to fly well

People got the disc member box ones before the release. Those don't sound as flat and people were saying they are much straighter than anticipated. Some even saying slight turn? There was also very little talk about what they are supposed to fly like, so who knows?
