I've never had it about 14,000ish above seal level but one of my partners in the plane did take it to 17,999.
In it's present configuration the FAA says 17,999 is the limit.
Still, I'm pretty sure anything we drop would reach terminal velocity and zero forward velocity from much lower altitudes so we really don't need to go that high.
