how high does it fly?
1675042
I'M tempted to fly it, but i'm more into displaying this magnificent model of our history

I haven't built/flown it yet. But I remember reading that the recommended motor is somewhat underpowered (a D-12 I believe). I would plan on putting in at least an "E" motor of some type. And you will want to beaf up the internal structure. I've seen these things fall out of the sky underpowered and I've seen them torn apart before they get that far. I don't think you will have to worry much about it going too high.

Going from memory of what the box says, about 200 ft. Not very high. Haven't actually flown mine yet, still being made. But the Saturn V isn't about how high it will go but how gracefully it gets there.

With the recommended engine this will reach an altitude of about 400 feet. If you modify it to accept larger motors it can conceivably reach about 1000 feet. With a model like this it's not always about how high it will fly, but how well it flies and returns that makes it a fun rocket to launch. The other thing that makes this model is taking the time to build a reasonable replica of the real thing - that's what makes it truly impressive.

Personally I am not going to fly this marvelous model and I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't care damaging or even destroying the missile and losing all the work you put into it.

Even with a D engine you would be lucky to go 100 ft. This rocket is more for show. By far the most difficult Estes construction I have completed.

Not sure, depends on the size of the motor you use, but after building it my son wants to just hang it from his ceiling since it looks amazing and he's scared of damaging it.

It's about 6 inches tall. Pretty impressive wingspan. By no means tiny when you have the whip and beam sword attached

I would say roughly 1 ft. off the ground. Not exactly sure, but somewhere between 10-12 inches.

It will fly outdoors, but it is very light and the slightest breeze can carry it away.

Height wise not sure but I returned it because in any kind of wind outside and I mean little wind it will not fly forward with the stick all the way forward. Its to big to fly inside the house. It would fly maybe 10 mins on the battery.

Flys well if there is absolutely no wind present. id reccomend having a big area with no obstacles.

It is big enough but since mine never flew, I am not sure how much it could handle.

If by lift your asking how much extra weight it can carry, I think around 10-20g will work, but with reduced flight times. Without added weight it can climb pretty fast. How well it flies in wind is dependent on your skill, it will drift with the wind without user input. A new pilot will need calm air to learn, but an experienced pilot could probably still fly well in 20+MPH winds. It's small size means winds effect it less. As for height, higher than you can see it to control it. Range and height are at least 100 yards, but you will have a REAL hard time seeing ti to control it at that distance.

It seems to be about 6 inches off the ground. Not very high. It cleans very well and gets under most things without hurting anything that gets in its way.

It goes about 200 feet off the ground if not to windy outside! They are amazing!

Ours worked fine, it went very high, above our trees like 50' up just had to keep the throttle forward, you probably have a defective one. Just need to not crash land.

No. It flies in circles, you can adjust the size of the circle and altitude it flies at. It will glide to the ground when it gets shot, or runs out of power.

It is roughly 9" in length and can fly fairly quick--about 5-10 mph top speed

I have not measured it but it's above my head so I'm guessing about 7 feet or so.

No closer than 12 inches, & directly overhead so it's not in the bird's eyes.

no, it does not fly, unless you hang it from the ceiling as I have . It is a highly detailed plastic, static model.I enjoyed building it very much. It looks great hanging from my ceiling with 68 other model planes . have a nice day. live long and prosper. only you can make it so.

About 27 1/2 In. One of the biggest fixed pitch helis i've flown. Very stable, very fun and parts are cheap.
