Most fishing line is optimized by the manufacturer for the least amount of stretch possible which is desirable for most fishing applications. However, for an F3B glider winch you want the most stretch possible so as maximize the energy at the top of the launch for the "slingshot effect" as mentioned in the video. Soaking in water also helps maintain the stretchiness. Some line for big game fishing claims to be optimized for max stretch but I am not sure if it is as stretchy as Speedline.
dude ur using that plane for the wrong thing and don't say im wrong my dad is nick stong the guy who designed that plane its for dsing or dynamic soaring
They use line called Speedline, which is a type of monofilament. 1.2 to 1.8mm sizes.

In my experience the cheapest fishing lines have the most stretch.
nope, too stretchy
