On the website it says "6.5m (3-4 meters higher but with obstructions)"

That's part of the trimming process! There's a few things you can do if it's stalling:
The scioly.org wiki wrote:On a well trimmed plane, the wing has a positive incidence and stab has a small negative angle of incidence. Raising the leading edge of the wing or lowering the trailing edge can cause the plane to climb. Raising the trailing edge of the stab, or lowering the leading edge can also do the same. If your plane tends to stall, do the reverse of the above. Some modelers have a small amount of down thrust and left thrust in their propeller by angling the thrust bearing.
You can also move the center of gravity forward by adding ballast (sticky tack/clay) towards the front of the plane, or if there’s a wing saddle, so you can move the wing forward or rearward on the motor stick, slide the wing rearward a bit, so the center of gravity is more forward in relation to the wing. Just moving it a bit should do the trick.

I've gotten close to 2 minutes, but not yet.

Has anybody hit 2:30 yet in a 17-23 foot gym?

I recently hit 2 minutes! Any 2:30+? I'm assuming I'm nearing max...
