Was that the Nova or was it the Orbit? My cloned Orbit (22" version) used to grab monster amounts of altitude in each flight, even on modest motors. It was the most efficient cloud scratcher that I have ever flown. That's why I now speak of it in the past tense. Its last launch was on a Quest D5. Epic flight, but I think it got caught in the jet stream or something...
My cloned Nova is no slouch in that department either.
