Is that above sea or land level. I mean if its sea, and you take off from 380 feet its only going to go 10 feet high!
Not to mention theres bridges and hills and hundreds of those windmills that are higher (510 feet bridge) around here! https://www.google.com/search?q=humber+ ... 8&dpr=1.25
Mines set to 1000 feet. Thats plenty high as you can run out of power before getting down safely if you are not careful.

400 feet per second, is just 272mph. I fly delta jets, both pulse jets and turbines. Not the overweight sluggish scale ones but ones that go some. They are 250 to 300 mph and speed doeent drop much when pointed up.
If I do a 250mph 50 foot pass along the runway, and then climb out vertically, then I am head height to 400 feet IN a little over ONE SECOND!
And you need 5 to 600 feet to do a sensible radius turn at that speed. So staying below say 400 feet is all but an impossibility.
I fly stuff like this. Although this guy is 40% faster!
He climbing at 700+ feet per second at full power about halfway in the vid.

How would you keep that under 400 feet?

With a really tiny turbine on board... But not for long!
