So to fly higher, you want to fly slower. The velocity of the rocket is controlled by the rocket engine. A high thrust rocket motor will make the rocket travel at a higher speed. A low thrust rocket motor will keep the speed of the model down, therefore keeping the drag lower so the rocket can travel higher.
