LordFrench Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 doesnt bear grylls hold the world record for a height of 29,500ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Time to climb to Also not sure if BG's attempt was was ever concluded as a record due to flight recording hardware fail. I know for sure that it has since been proven by using known 7 points from the footage and triangulating it back to a height, but not sure if they ever bothered to send it off.... ???

LordFrench Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 wasnt he cheating though being in the mountains. shouldnt it count if you are at sea level and climbing? i could live 10k feet above sea level and clime 30k feet and claim a record haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 There is a little more to it that that Just getting an engine to work at that height (very low oxogen) is challenge enough for most. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ramon Morilas Holds the Max Altitude record @ 24,895ft the BG record has never been proven and was never submitted.. Still an Amazing feet!!! The time to climb records and Max Altitude records do have Different rules, The Max altitude records can be flown from any height.. I think Ramon took off from Hushe's Valey (Pakistan) at around 14,000ft The UK record set by Giles Fowler from the RAF team on the Bailey Matrix Hornet did 18,305ft from sea level!! Personally I think this is much harder to do and this is the way I Plan to do it too!! sea level too XX,000ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nforster Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 morgy- would you have to have a remote adjustable carb to reach those heights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I have a remote carb adjustment system on my Hornet but the Mac Fly 250 would have to be adjusted Via jetting prior to launch. But i am working on something for inflight.. Also prop pitch would need to be worked out/tested for the real high altitude flights.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwizz Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I would have thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show off a closed loop injection system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
