It doesn't get that high, unfortunately (false advertising?) I did a test a while back (I'm sure it's in the archives) and I couldn't even get close to that. ...

Gene, This is a beautiful piece of work. I hope your launches go well--it would be a shame to mess up such a nice looking rocket; hope there's plenty of soft...
In the USA they changed their claims to "many hundreds of feet"--one video they show has a launch of 10.2 seconds, or approximately 415 feet--not bad, but no...
Hi Richard, I used all the combinations of boosters I could. It's a really good toy, but I couldn't get anywhere near 1000 ft. no matter what I did. Dave...
Looks like I got duped by there ad. What a shame Dave don't know if you can do this but did you try adding water to the rocket to see if it would go higher ......
Now, that is a model rocket! Wow! Very pretty execution. Hope it flys as nicely as it looks. I watched a similar shaped (expensive)pyro model crash a week...
