I've got that model in my stash. The Quest Icarus header card says "B" and "C" motors are the recommended power range, and that it only has an estimated maximum altitude of 700' (~213-215 m) with a C6-5.

A quick-n-dirty RockSim simulation says this is a bit optimistic. I only get C6-5 flights in the 580' - 590' altitudes; B6-4 flights just barely top 200'. I'm more comfortable giving you the RockSim estimation as being closer to reality than I am the header card data. YMMV...

Looking for a kit with a challenge? or just something to fly?

Semroc.com if you like too build (like I do). There is something there for everyone.

Go big! SLS Hustler and underpower it.
