I have as much throw as possible and use six #67 rubber bands. Hope this helps.

Is your GL as per the kit, or did you do any mods on it? I beefed up the wing and fuselage a fair bit.

the only mod i did was add the balsa spar stiffiners on main wing and installed a downed plane locater , i felt that i over glued the GL for crash resistance ,it came out a
little on the heavy side [] i am building an SL and wont make the same mistake !
