If there’s 100 feet of string, it’s maximum altitude would probably be 100 feet…
No matter what the design, it could never reach 100ft. You’d be lucky to get much beyond 50ft., I reckon.
Depends on the angle of rise. And that depends on the wind. If the wind is more horizontal then the altitude will not be so great. Needless to say, the maximum altitude would be 100 feet, if the kite would go straight up. I’m not a mathematician but you would have to work out a formula as to the length of the string and the angle of rise.
Just a quick guess, the altitude would probably be not more than 60 feet. Repeat, a guess.
Good Luck. Maybe someone with math experience can give you a formula to get a better estimate.
With the right angle of attack on the bridle, it think it could go nearly 100′ straight vertical. I’ve flown my dual-line kite past vertical on the windy days, and on no-wind days, ultra-lights can be flown up and over to the opposite side of you. Lighter line weights don’t bow as much, and although the maximum height would be momentary and perhaps slightly less than 100′, I think it’s entirely possible to fly a kite very close to that measurement.
