Anyone know if this heli can be flown outdoors, and what is the range? Thanks.

I have flown it outdoors in bright sunlight with no problem. The forward speed is quite slow, so if there is any wind, you will not be able to make upwind progress meaning it will just fly away.

Yes, this helicopter can be flown outdoors. But I would recommend that you only do it with no, (or VERY light), wind. I haven't let mine get more than about 80 (or so) feet from me, but I've had fun with it even though I don't let it get very far away.Hope this helps.

Yes, it can be flown outdoors, but there must be NO wind. On the plus side, it is built well and survives many crashes due to the fact it can't fly in the wind. Or breeze. Or if you blow on it.

I've flown' this outside, what I did was super glue two quarters on the nose to give it weight, it will not blow away in light wind, the only thing is you lose flight time 1 or 2 minutes

it has a range of about 500 feet and its a indoors and outdoor heli, my friends and I just love flying it. It takes such an awesome pictures and video it's a really crisp and clear video. I kinda want the new UDI U12 it's basically the same heli only bigger so it might fight the wind alot better but if you want something for indoors and outdoors then pick this

The Helicopter can fly up to 90 feet,I would advise you in the beginning to keep it 30 feet and under.I had an experience when I flew to high it was swept away by updrafts.Make sure you fly not more than 10mph wind speed.

The 120 sr rtf is ready to fly. It has all you need. This is a great heli to learn. Its good for indoor or outdoor in low winds. The 120sr bnf has all you need except a transmitter. You have to have a radio that u can bind to the receiver. Good luck. This is a nice heli to learn on.

It's the same heli as the Brookstone Stuntcopter which says 200 yards. I have the Brookstone copter and enjoyed it enough that I bought 2 WL V911s much cheaper for my sons. It will take a beating and you can get replacement parts that Brookstone doesn't have in their kit.

Hello, This is a really nice heli for indoors and outside with little or no wind. It measures just about 9 inches long and 4 inches high. I have two of them and have had them for about a year. Fly them a lot. It is a really tough little bird. Ive only broken one tail rotor between the two. Great for a beginner or someone that like to play indoors. I think you would like. Enjoy, Ray

No, this most definitely *cannot* be used outdoors. (Of course if *extremely calm/windless* then possibly). This is intended to be used indoors. I don't know what you're reading on weight, but the copter itself weighs mere ounces. I've owned several, lots of fun at a low price! J.~

I do believe a coaxial heli would be a great choice to start with , it's a 4 blade configuration with gyros to keep it extremely stable and much easier to control, just make sure it's an outdoor version .. Hope this helps

Yes it is but there are a few things you need to know first. It has limited range. If you go beyond the range limit, it will just fall from the sky and crash. Thats what mine did. No more than maybe 100 feet. It also has limited forward movement. Not to be used in any wind conditions. Battery is small and only gives 5 minute flights if that. Its size is impressive but not great heli. It is toy grade and thats why it is so cheap. Parts are not available at local hobby stores. Better off going to a hobby store for a co-axial heli. Pay more but you have local parts support and help if needed. A better quality heli at that too. Good luck in whatever you decide to purchase.

Timothy, this helicopter works outdoors, but not when it is windy. I there is a small breeze it will not fly perfect but it still flies. All in all this is a nice, and good quality helicopter.

The slightest wind will blow this heli around. I have to turn off the ceiling fans in my home to fly it indoors. So I would NOT recommend outside flight.

It depends how you fly the heli. If you fly aggressively, expect 5-7 minutes or so. If you fly conservatively and hover, move around in circles, etc. then you're looking at more like 6-9 minutes. This thing flies fantastic outside too!! Doesn't go all over the place like the CX2/3 did. I was able to fly it outside in a very subtle wind and control it really well.

I fly mine outside in a 50 x 30 foot area with no tree cover. it really isnt great for indoors, too fast and covers too much ground. It is awesome outside though. Highly recommend as an upgrade from the syma indoor copters.

Paul, I've had this heli for over a year and made a lot of flights. It is definitely for indoor use. You may fly outside if the wind is very light. I must emphasize-- very light--. Even 10 mph will cause problems as the heli succumbs to the wind and not your inputs. Use caution if outside. I would recommend a large indoor area such as a gymnasium or a storage area. This is a great little heli and tough to boot. Hope this helps

I would imagine this might be the older version. It was out back in 2012 so I'm sure by now they have come up with something newer. If I'm not mistaken I think I read something about a newer one. But I'm not sure. I just know this one has been out for some time. That being said, if you do not have one of these, it's a pretty good Heli to fly. As some of the reviews have said, it's not for a beginner but still not too difficult to fly for someone who has a little flying time under their belt and I am assuming by the question asked, you have some experience flying these. I have a lot of fun with it. I have six helicopters. Most of them are indoor size but I do have 2 that are outdoor copters. This is one of them.
