how much wind speed will the a.r. drone fly in and still be controlable.

the vehicle is very sensitive to wind gusts. So, the flight computer will compensate for any instability due to a wind gust of about 10 mph. Anything higher than that will not allow full control of the vehicle and will drain your battery faster. Aerospace Engineer

No problem with light winds. Flies well with light gusts. I have had mine up in 5 mph winds and it handled it just fine.

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.

This Helicopter Flies Well Outside ProvidEd There Is Little Wind. I've Enjoyed Flying It Inside And Outside.

It will fly well outdoors only in very calm to dead calm conditions. It is too light to penetrate any significant wind.

It will fly higher than 9 ft, however keep in mind it uses infared light, and not RF (radio) so it does not do well in sun light. But i have flown at least 20ft high outside at night before i lost control.

Any small craft will be affected by the winds. This preforms very well indoors, and somewhat ok outdoors. I would fly outside when the winds are slow.

I would only fly this plane in less that 5 mph wind preferably dead calm for best results. it is very light and gets moved aroud easily

You don't want it to go to far, as it needs to be seen to be controlled. How long it stays airborne depends on weather conditions. I usually fly for about 10-12 minutes in calm air,but I have seen flights over 30 minutes if there are any air currents to lift the plane without using the electric motor.

Flys well if there is absolutely no wind present. id reccomend having a big area with no obstacles.

not recommended to fly in wind. A slight breeze yeah, I have had decent flights with this bird. I like the size of this chopper I just lost signal to often. antennae broke off so now sits on shelf. I say spend a little more for 2.4 ghz like the MJX F465.

Yes but you have the risk of losing your drone as it won't have a default homing location. If you lose control its going to fly towards that direction and not return

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 depends on the quad copter. The Phantom 1 gets about 10 - 15i minutes of flight while the Phantom 2 can get up to 25 minutes.

No. It flies in circles, you can adjust the size of the circle and altitude it flies at. It will glide to the ground when it gets shot, or runs out of power.

If it was absolutely calm with no breeze at all you could possibly try to fly it outside. I tried once when I thought it was calm enough to fly it and lost control of it immediately with just a very slight breeze. I think in the instructions that come with the Helicopter it says not for outdoor use.

Average 5 to 7 minute flight time. I have always kept it within 100 Ft or so without any problem. you can tighten the metal rod on the control arm adjustments. Very easy to do and makes it much more fun to fly.
