Sorry to dig up an old thread , i am the 14 year old fella saying "its so fun flying these things man".

Anyway I have reached a Climax of 2000 ft and i am not BS , everyone agreed , This in October .

Here is a Link to a pic of one of my rocks its the the tall one with yellow upper body , red nose cone and red at the bottom , Its altitude was 1200ft :D .

Scroll to the bottom of the page. If you want to know the motor i was using , It was a F20-W ( dia is 29mm) the fuel is inside the motor is the same in the space shuttles side boosters.

I didn't have the brains to install a altimeter but i made sure to make all the right measurements on the completed rocket and type them in a simulator and the guys i launch with have been launch for ages so they can estimate pretty good.
