Is it possible to get more flat champ Terns? My champ has some and a heartbeat. I might like to grab a max weight champ Tern and call it good.

The flattest champ I have is a pink first run. I hope that is not the only answer.

The last 3 champs I got from the the warehouse are all really flat. They're green and yellow.

Ooh, the warehouse? Is that the online factory store or?

I've given up on the Tern. Been a while since I've bagged them but I've kept a few around for field work in case I decided to give another go. The rim is just too thin. I can't get a decent pull on them. They slip out of my hand way too often and I can throw my blizzard Wraiths (158-160g) further. Going to PIAS.

Haha no it's just their warehouse of production runs. All the current new champ terns I've seen have been on the flatter side. Non of them I'd consider overly domey like some of the earlier runs.
Brilliant move to make gummy champ terns only available for promotions & fundraisers, but it gets pretty expensive if it's you're favorite distance driver and you get addicted to all the different stamps. I thought I was done until I saw this: http://www.clearwaterdiscgolfstore.com/gummy-champion-tern-2016-cookeville-clash

So... did some field testing with Terns today. Based on all my reading of Terns and plastics my expectation on stability would have been Champ>Gstar>Star>Pro. Field testing with fairly fresh discs actually turns out to be Champ>Pro>Star>Gstar. I found this surprising and interesting. Anyone agree or disagree?

I could easy see that, especially with the G* variation. Pro has been surprisingly stable.

The only one that's surprising is pro. But after some beating in it could sit between star and Gstar. Put them on a flat surface and look at the wing/PLH between them, it should correlate to the relative stabilities.

I've been impulsive and stupid enough to choose a disc for the looks so now I need advice from the Tern gurus. 
I'm not even at 300' speed yet so I know I shouldn't throw a DD yet but had the chance to look through boxes of discs before they where unpacked and couldn't resist grabbing myself a 170g Champ Tern for my practice/future DD.
I do realize I probably should have gone for star or g* (was the plan) and probably lower than 170g...
Should I accept my choice and learn my new disc or should I get a second one to use as my first DD? Is the star 165g much easier to get distance with for a intermediate player?

Yes.
Champ Terns fly very nice, but you'll have to grow into it. Enjoy the practice throws. And you could definitely use it for some forehand hyzer-flips.

Having one Tern is like having one Bassett Hound. It just doesn't work. Get a Star and throw that Champ into the wind.

Haha Damn, I was just about to explain my situation as a student and argue that as my single DD the Champ might work better (live on the coast after all)...
Trying to figure out if I have the stomach to exchange this pearl for an orange star or if I'll just have to get a second Tern later.

Keep that one, especially if you got it for looks. Get another Tern later.

I love that rainbow rotational splash coloring...
I will go out and throw it straight into the 25 mph winds I got going on the field and compare it to my flipping FDs. Should do the trick for my conscience.

Those older star Tern that said -4 turn, is it confirmed they're actually a different mold and not that they just reevaluated the numbers?
Didn't buy one because my friend said they didn't differ but now I feel like really missed the perfect beginner Tern.

Only one mold.
