100 feet on a no-wind day. That's dicey even with a 3-second delay getting a 'chute out and open before it hits the ground. D12 would be a minimum for safe flight. There also 3 second delay. I would not try a Q-Jet D16-4 until I saw it fly on an Estes D12-3.
Thinking of it as a dual egg lofter makes the numbers sound more plausible to me.
Now that Sixty Acres is open again (I had the north field all to myself on Monday from 11:30 to about 3) you could fly it over there on an E30.
