The 25th Annual Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning...Hot air balloons usually cruise at an altitude of 1.000 feet above ground. Many balloon flights occur between 50 and 2,000 feet above the ground, but balloons can fly at treetop level or go much higher. Once the balloon reaches 12,500 feet, oxygen is required. (But rest assured, none of the balloons at the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning will fly anywhere near that high.
Related QuestionsLight Flight Service 3We usually fly at tree top height to enjoy an "aerial nature walk." Our altitude is dependent upon the wind and what is below us, but generally up to 1,000 feet and sometimes higher. We fly in light winds of ten miles per hour or less. Our speed is that of the wind and distance will vary with the speed. We generally fly from four to eight miles on a flight. Where we fly from and to will be based solely on the wind.Related Questions
How (high/far/fast) can they fly?
FAQsThe radios we use have an effective range of around to a mile. Therefore, "technically" you should be able to fly up to that far away. However, in actual practice this is not the case. You can control the aircraft only as long as you can visually see it and determine its orientation (or in other words, tell what it is doing). The farther away it gets, the smaller it appears. Thus, at the point it you can no longer clearly see it, you are no longer in control of it..

Great Planes Giant Extra 300L Frequently Asked Questions (FA...We don't have a specific clocked speed for the aircraft, as this is not something we would normally check for on an aerobatic airplane. It should not be flown at high speeds, and we advise against that with detail in the manual. Aerobatic aircraft, by their nature, are not designed to go fast and can easily be subjected to flutter. This is not a flaw at all but a bi-product of their light weight and exceptional performance.

FAQ - Dmoz/Recreation/Aviation/Model_Aviation/Radio_Controll...To the best of your humble FAQ author's knowledge, the current speed record for a 'hobby' radio controlled helicopter is just over 100 miles per hour. To get that fast requires extensive modification, so you end up with a helicopter that can go fast but doesn't really run well, emits an ear-splitting roar, doesn't fly well upside-down, and basically can't really do much besides go really fast. The average person's "sport" helicopter is still pretty quick though.
