What is the difference between a firebird and a thunderbird

The Thunderbird is a stable disc. That means that it is not very speed-sensitive unlike an under stable disc and will likely fly very straight with a right-hand backhand RHBH throw. Of course, it will only fly straight if the proper throwing technique, arm speed, and arm strength are applied. For about feet, it will maintain that course then it will fade a little to the left for about another 80 feet.

If thrown right, the most probable distance you can get from the Thunderbird is somewhere around to feet. The Firebird has the same turn rating as the Thunderbird — but they have different stability. The Firebird is very overstable. Compared to the Thunderbird, the Firebird fares better against headwinds.

Then you will see it fade very hard, because of its high fade rating, as it loses speed. The longest flight distance you can get from a Firebird is very close to feet. The general flight pattern is not set to stone. The plastic with which the discs are made affects their flight pattern slightly. With that said, let us look at the available plastics in which the Thunderbird and Firebird come.

The most common plastic for the Thunderbird is Champion. However, even with this one plastic, you are getting many options. The weight system available ranges from grams to grams.

The Firebird also most often comes in the Champion plastic. However, it also comes in all the plastics the Thunderbird comes in except for Metal Flake and Pro. Both discs are categorized as control drivers. But their differences in their stability, flight paths, and ratings also give them an edge over one another in different scenarios. Because of the Thunderbird straight flight, neutral stability, and minimal fade, it is a better option for accurate drives. In my opinion, it is the better option for an accurate, long-distance shot compared to the Firebird.

Please ask a new question if you need help. Thunderbird is an email client which you can if you wish, install on your computer, and on which you can view your emails.

Actually Thunderbird has been a community project for a while now and is no longer a Mozilla product despite Mozilla in name and being supported here.

Boasting models such as the Trans Am, and the Firebird, Pontiac never aimed to be particularly fuel efficient or family friendly. Ford's contribution to these muscle cars was the Thunderbird. The Firebird was the first of Pontiac's current muscle or pony cars to hit the market, being introduced in The design of the original Firebirds was in the "coke bottle shape" that was popular in the late 's. Equipped with a both an inline V-6 or V-8 engine, the original Firebird was a monster with engine options that could put out as much as hp.

Starting in , Pontiac introduced a new body shape that is much more reminiscent of the modern Firebird. Since then, no fewer than five different generations of the classic muscle car have been introduced.
