What type of distance can the remote control be away from the helipcopter?

We gave this as a gift. I do not know how far it will go. My son-in-law's dog distroyed the copter before he could get much play time with it.

The remote does not need a line of sight. Its a radio signal not infrared. I control it from the second floor and the thermostat is on the first floor. Quite handy.

The range is not specified by the manufacturer. It is line of site. If the aircraft is in view (within reason) you should have no problems. If the plane flies behind a tree, or building, the signal is lost. I hope this helps, Thanks for your inquiry. Regards, Dave, Hobby Zone

It's not as far as it says. I've use it out about 25 yards or so. It must be off the ground for the remote to pick it up also. It works good for the price though.

Distance detects motion is not far, maybe 20 ft. Not bright enough for security. Could easily be removed & stolen as it is made 100% of plastic.

The quadcopter can fly about 1000 ft. away (according to manufacturer). We've taken it a bit further, and the wifi camera still worked great. However, this is going to depend mainly on the capability of your phone's wifi receiver. The wifi antennae are different from phone to phone.

I used the remote control successfully at a distance of 2.5 metres. I never tried it for any longer distance.

Don't know. I bought two and both of them took off on their own and flew out of range as soon as I turned on the controller. One s at the bottom of a lake and the other is about 40 feet up in an Oak tree. Save your money or just throw it away, it will be less frustrating for you.

So far, I have put the quad almost out of sight straight up and had no controller issues. Even the camera has performed better than expected. I would say the distance was at around 2500 feet. I dont have an altimeter on it so I couldnt say for sure.

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.

Line of sight. I wouldn't try it past 40 yards. With that being said I have called in all sorts of animals with mine at close range so I wouldn't necessarily worry about the remote range if you are properly camouflaged.

Just like any of these micro helicoptors, slight breeze is going to ruin the precise control. But outdoors flying will provide a different kind of experience. I believe that the most fun would come from flying this thing outside in a windless calm day.

I've got good control at about 150 feet. It starts to loose the connection that far away (or up). It's about as far as you can go and still easily see which direction it is pointing with subtle movements.

It's about 3" tall and 12" diameter. Nor sure about the range. It will go nearly out of sight without any control response issues.

about 10 m at the out most distance from the sensor. however angle of the sensor and others can reduce the range

I fly mine outside and inside‚ the only thing about flying it outside is 1) it can't be windy and 2) you have to keep it in range of the remote.

The range according to Phonak between the ComPilot and the remote mike is 66 feet You can get a great deal of information on the Phonak web site. Robert
