The max height might be different due to local regulations. Fly safe!

So what did you find out ?

Comment :

20K feet ... is the maximum altitude that lift can be sustained by the motor / prop combination on the P3 in the thinner atmosphere. It is NOT the maximum height you can fly up to from ground zero.

The maximum height you can fly up to from ground zero is 500m, but also subject to local / national regulations of your country / region.

So in effect ... if you were on a mountain - you could fly 20K feet but only from a take off point that is 20k feet minus the 500m limit.

I actually tested both the P3S and P3P to max height climb and the AC 'bounced' along a max height of 498m ..... I have a video somewhere of it ...
