I haven't taken it outside yet since its winter where I live, its good for a beginner since its soo durable if u hit something, but try not to hit too many things lol

I have flown this outdoors on calm days. *ANY* wind, however slight will make it hard to fly. Also, it's very easy to fly this up over treetop level and watch it get blown several houses away and stuck in a tree. Ask me how I know.

This one doesn't include the controller. There is an option to buy the package with a controller so make sure you buy it unless you have another programmable radio. Yes it requires two hands to fly but I have seen a person fly incredibly well with only his feet! The left hand controls the speed of the rotors (moving you up and down) and the rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise). The right hand controls moving forwards and backwards or left and right. I'm not sure how a person with only one good arm could operate it unless someone helped them. They do not have to rotate it and speed could stay the same but they may get bored quickly. Good luck!

Yes 2channels ive had mine for about 4 days and have flown it nonstop and wrecked it what seems hundreds of times into stuff. This is my first copter and is alot of fun . Easy. And durable.

It flies outdoors fine, you just have to be aware of the surroundings like trees, power lines and the one you can't see, the wind. so it doesn't take it away from your control

This is indeed remote controlled. Whether or not it is appropriate for a 12 year old depends entirely on the 12 year old. If they have any experience with a remote controlled helicopter before, then this would be a fine gift for them. If they have no such experience but enjoy the challenge of mastering a new skill and have a great deal of patience then this may also be a good gift. If they have no RC experience and don't handle crashes well, I would suggest a coaxial 3-channel helicopter instead. They are much easier to fly, though this will be more rewarding if and when it is mastered.

They work great outdoors, in low wind. Once it picks up, you're better off packing it in. this is the same with all rc choppers, however.

I bought mine from Horizon Hobby and it came as promised in excellent condition It is an rc aircraft and not a toy It is easy to set up and has very good instruction manuals and well worth the price So I highly recommend it as a very good beginner introduction to radio controlled flying Horizon Hobby or Motion RC are excellent retailers for these products So if you are looking for a beginner to experienced rc pilot this plane is a lot of fun and well worth the money Hope this helps

I recommend yo to read all the other questions for this same article. I haven't bought it yet, but seems by those answers it is only the helicopter, no batteries, no control, no charger. Another answer says this article is intended just for copter replacement.

Joe, we fly this mostly on land and let it land by gliding on grass without wheels attached and that's far more stable than the little wheels on road. It will land well on water. Taking off from water works well too but you need an absolute flat surface and some practise. It will occasionally tip over so when you begin you need to be ready to catch it from a canoe. It doesn't sink so when it does that and you catch it within a few minutes it will dry well and fly on. Enjoy, we have lots of fun with this little flyer.

This heli is pretty small and is not recommended for outdoor use. You can use it outdoors if there is no wind, but you will then run into a range issue with the remote. The outdoor helicopters are much larger and aren't controlled by IR.

No. I have had two of these, and I reached the conclusion that they are not suitable for outside. They may be durable, but if there is any amount of wind they will drift away. In the case there is less than 1mph of wind, the controller has a hard time keeping connection and the helicopter will constantly fall to the ground. Very frustrating for outside use.

This helicopter is not for beginnrrs, I would say it is more an intermediate level copter. It takes some skill to fly and manuever it. I would give it 4 stars as it is fun. Don't crash too much, it will take a few bumps, but just a few.

I'd love to be able to answer that, but I sent it out of state for my grandson's birthday and never got to actually see him use it. I was told it did great in the house and was a nice product. He loved it! I don't know why it wouldn't be able to fly outside unless, of course, it was extremely windy. Wish I could be more help.

Dont listen to these nerds. Of course it flies, its an airplane! It doesnt come with the radio, you have to buy all electronics yourself (radio, reciever, motors, servos, and speed controlls). Dont forget the tilt rotors which require an extra channel and motors. If youre inexprerienced I found that this is easy to fly with 2 heli gyros. So, yea.... I know its probably too late but go ahead and buy. Dummy

It will fly extremely well inside but if you take out side with any wind or breez it will be tricky to fly. This helicopter is very light and can be blown away easily. So if you take it out side be very careful.
