It looks like the first launch went quite a bit farther than the rest, is that a function of camera angle or did you change something?
I think that has more to do with the tension on the elastic tubing, we made it very tight for our first launch and dialed it down a bit later on to reduce the wear on it. Its all depends on how much you tension the elastic tubing, we will probably crank it up a bit a competition.

Edit: I didn't get any video of it winching down, but with 2 CIMs it comes down under a second.
