[Hopperxx] simple frisbee math?

[Lutz Westermann]

I am not an expert, but I  would start with a simple model:

0. Initial force, rotation and angle to the ground
1. Speed will make it lighter
2. Rotation speed will make it stable
3. The angle to the ground gives a directional force
4. Angle to the ground changes the speed of falling
5. Gravity will pull it down

I have some idea in mind how this could be calculated, but unfortunately 
no time to dive into it :/

My starting point would be the trajectory of a projectile and adding the 
other parameters on top of it to change the path.

_regards!
