How high does it ACTUALLY go? And how good is the hang time? Does it just come right back down in split second or does it take a few seconds

My 6 th graders designed rockets.. A good plain bottle will shoot 150 feet. The lighter the rocket the more time it takes to float down . It was exciting for our 5 year old as well as my 6 th graders.

It goes about as high as our two story house. Comes down fairly soon after going up--doesn't hang too long. Lots of fun!

You get different heights based on bottle size and amount of water you put in. We have found that a 2 liter filled about a third of the way with water gets the most air. It goes high enough that you need a field or a big backyard or it will end up on someone's roof! The kids had fun experimenting with bottle sizes and water amounts- taught them a little about propulsion. And they love chasing them down as they fall, they have even attempted some add-on parachutes and wings.

We get a max of 60 feet, it relies on the water air mixture (1/2-2/3 water). The flight time depends on the bottles 5-10 seconds. We have Cub Scouts decorate them, so the hang time is longer with streamers. Hang time is long enough for the boys to run and try to catch it. We have used it for a few years and the only problem is the washer wore out and was easily replaced.

Can't say exactly how high, but it is explosive and impressive. The spent bottle floats down filled with cloud-like water vapor. Since the bottles are light to begin with, it doesn't drop like a rock.

The bottle went up at least 2 stories if not higher. It was dependent on how much water you put in and how much air you pumped. My grand boys, 9 and 5 thought it was was awesome. They have a big back yard and it flew into all the neighbors yards so it just doesn't go straight up. Thank goodness they have great neighbors.

I've never timed it but it's under 5 minutes. I live at sea level which makes a difference, too.

Pretty quick... under 5 min but probably quicker than that... If I remember right it holds residual water so it's probably under a minute... a bunch of drunks use it so it couldn't take all that long ;=)

Hi, So far it has stuck. It has been 3 months. I've also increased the load on it. The plastic hook hasn't broken.

Once poles and hooks are in the actual putinf up the sail does not take but a few minutes. We left ours up all summerAnd took it down this past weekend for the winter. It took about. 5 min to take t down and fold up.

:{ When I got mine, i was expecting my low loft to rise up a bit after 48 hours but it stayed like 1" inch high. I believe the high loft is about 4" and the low is about 2". there is something wrong with what I bought, but the return policies states, I will not get the full refund plus i have to pay shipping. Oh well. they got me there.

It works to hang it high. You just have to be able to lift/push the bike that high to get it on the hook. A bike is pretty tall when stood upright, so keep that in mind when placing the hook/rail.

Mine does not go off after a few minutes. As long as it is charged, it will do pretty good. I've never ran it till it died, usually use it for quick spills and what not and it does great

Takes 10 to 15 seconds on mine. I suppose if you weren't standing still it would take longer.

It typically takes me a minute or 2. It's not a complicated transition, the only reason it takes me more than 15 seconds is I usually have to take the mattress off the frame.

It will go down pretty quick, but you have to push it back down, it won't go back to the original(zero) placement without pressure

The comment by Rhiannon is rather puzzling.. Why would it make sound if it was just hanging?

Maybe it's because you just turned it on. If you just turn it on high it will drop down to a lower speed until the water circulates and then go back up. It takes about 5 minutes.

We have actually had it go off sooner than 15 seconds. I believe it is looking for absolutely no motion --- even breathing or panting will delay the response.

This mount has the ability to hang very low because it comes with an extension pole. I was a little concerned about how low the mount would go because I have low ceilings. The top of my 55" TV sits exactly 8 inches below my ceiling. The directions say to connect the ceiling connection pole to the tv bracket pole with 4 bolts but I only used 2 so that my TV would sit higher and it holds up great. I have had 0 issues with this mount since I installed it 4 months ago.

I haven't had any issue with mine...I hold it down for about 10 seconds and it is good.

Absolutely! It is super easy to do. It literally takes about 2 minutes to pop it up. It comes out of the storage bag, fold the legs down and pull up in the middle and hook it at the top. To take it down, unhook, push down in the middle, fold the legs back up and stick it in the bag. I had the whole thing up and down in about 5 minutes.
