Not sure how high you are looking to fly your Punisher 3, but mine with a tail cone otherwise built stock has hit 15,800' on a K1440W and 19,800' on an L935IM.
Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for. I have an L935 and a K1440, and other L's. The 19,800 would be too high for one of the waivers that I could get to soon. I saw another flyer post an L935 altitude that seemed really low to me. Crazy Jim mentioned in a post somewhere that he thought that the Punisher might hit 20K on a 6XL motor. Your numbers seem right on track. I will save the L935 for somewhere else. Congratulations on your flights. Did you use a tracker? I have a Comm Spec. I will hopefully have GPS soon.
Thanks, these are my two highest flights. The K1440 flight was a drag race at Lucerne Dry Lake which is at 2,400' ASL. The L935 flight was at Black Rock at 4,700' ASL, so that helped a bit. A flyer who my be the same one you mention, was at Black Rock that day and described his L935 flight at TCC as being off vertical and only getting about 9K. That was a bit of a head scratcher for both of us. In both my flights I used an Eggfinder GPS tracker. The L935 flight also had an L&L RF tracker.

K300 = 15500
L935 = 16000
L935 = 16600 with 1/2 lb nose weight
L935 = 17500 with tailcone
3,400 on a I 455 and 3,500 on a 4 grain 38 mm ex motor.
It has a tail Cone mod.
