My take on it is that a CD simply has insufficient mass to maintain gyroscopic stability. If you spin it fast enough, yes, but by hand it's not easy. If it were metal I'd expect it to fly just fine. Yes, I also suspect that low mass is the limiting factor. Hmmm...I was just thinking...I bet the 12 inch glass masters 1/4 inch think would have gone pretty far too.
