I didn't think a kitfox was allowed to go that high. I think my fox would get scared going that high.

NIce pics.

What do mean "high"? We have other ways here to get high. ;) Oh, you mean Altitude! Ogden airport is 4,473 mls. The Ogden Valley floor is 5,000 msl (I know, it doesn't make sense that the "valley" is higher than the "town", but this is Utah and alot of things here don't make much sense).

Most of my flying that day was between 6,000 and 7,500 msl. Density Altitude that morning added an aditional 2,500 or so feet to those figures. The mountains go up to about 10,000 msl. We fly thru the canyons, not over the mountains.

high for my kitfox is anything over 1000agl. I only do that because I have to do it over the city.

Flying high to cross the alps in Switzerland means always to climb up to 10'00ft msl
May be some recognizes the famous Swiss Mountain

My God, Thomas, that is absolutely breath taking!

I'm in awe...

Yes its the Matterhorn Altitude 4478m/14690ft
14'000ft and my KITFOX is not yet at its limit. Not bad with 80hp and a Warp 3bl gnd adjustable
