Here are the plans I've made as a pdf and as an image. If these attachments don't work out, PM me, we'll get in touch by regular email and I'll send what works.

Again, not contest caliber, but simple sport fun.. and if you get it trimmed out nicely and haven't done this stuff before you could be pleasantly surprised I think. Or it could go poorly and you decide that catapult gliders are stupid.. hey anything can happen..

BTW I use two loops of 1/8" rubber because I'm out of 1/4", but I think a 10" or so loop of 1/4" will get you up 40-50'.

I noted the trim adjustments for a right hand launcher - you aim upwards 50-60 degrees, and tilt right to 60-70 degrees, then massage technique from there. First of course, hand launches to establish trim and balance.
