This is a dramatically overstable indoor golf disc. It is just under 76mm in diameter and weighs about 7.5 grams in PLA.

This disc works best for short to mid-range shots that need to be overstable (curve right when thrown backhand by a righty).

This disc was interesting and not easy to design. Here is a blog post that talks about the physics behind flying discs and why some are overstable and others are understable: https://smalldiscgolf.org/the-falcon/

This disc can be printed without supports but the visual quality of the disc suffers. It still flies though. So, I've included a .3mf file for printing with a traditional print base only and another for printing with organic supports and a print base. These were both sliced in PrusaSlicer 2.6 alpha 5.

This disc is also found in the Disc Library here: https://smalldiscgolf.org/disc-library/#scimitar where you can also download the .step files for this and other small golf discs. This particular disc, the Scimitar, is is great indoors and outdoors. It's a valuable addition to any collection of small golf discs!
