Sorry guys, vimeo (14397072) has footage of a multiplex cularis (a foam 2m electric glider) hitting 15,000feet. But hey, he just bought that off a shelf and strappaed a camera/gps on board and went out flying. You guys built yours from scratch so maybe you can still hold the scratch built altitude record?

does everyone in Stanford use Mac ?

Unfortunately, crashing is to be expected. I have been through a lot of planes in the last 20 years. I got one up to about 1000 feet and was impressed. At 7000 feet, they might want to look into painting their planes a nice dayglow red. When you can't see the plane, it kind of takes the fun out of it. The computers were for measuring altitude and GPS. There were obviously no remote control servos. Those were only built to climb.



Very safe, Commercial airplanes fly @ 30.000 - 40.000 Feets, and is a NASA facility, so, i think, private and commercial flights must be real restricted.
Sorry, English is not my first lenguage.
