We are not talking a huge effect here

Agreed. I was watching launches at Auckland a few weeks ago and didn't
notice any gross bungee effects. All the launches I saw looked pretty
smooth.

One question: I saw that you were using a long plastic covered strop
between the drogue and glider, but could not see either a weak link or
a set of colour coded strops. Did I miss something?
