Is there a way to increase the flying range

Yes but it is a mod to the drone. Essentially you need a wifi extender. Picture the drone as a simple wifi hotspot like the one you probably have in your home. To have a better flying range you need a range extender. http://www.amazon.com/Parrot-AR-Drone-Quadricopter-Range-Extender/dp/B00FOA0038

There is a mod I saw that can be done to increase the range, and I was going to do it, but I just don't have time...

I am not sure myself. Personally I would upgrade into a better controller such as the DX6i. Happy Flying!

Even with the extra battery you are only increasing the flying time 14 to 20 minutes. Overall you are still down 20 to 25 minutes not including the time it takes to change out the battery. There are larger, more expensive models that provide more flying time if you can afford them. My best suggestion would be to just relax and have fun.

Hi JonSo far my husband has only attempted 500 meters and will try further when we find a larger flying area. Hope this helps.

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

The FAA has regulations limiting the heights of flights. Hypothetically, the craft can climb until it's battery is exhausted or it loses signal from the transmitter at which time it will go into failsafe mode and return to origin. Anytime you fly higher or farther than visual range, you risk losing a very expensive aircraft.

How it works? It has sensors that monitor level flight and speed up or speed down the motors to do so.How to control it with gps. Easy just flip a switch and the controller does it for you.Range? depeding on the radio to use about 1.3 miles but in order to flight it that far you will need a fpv system.

No there is no "Fix" the quad flys on the same frequency as the wifi on the phone and you dont want it anyway The range of the phantom is about 1 mile the range of the gopro wifi is about 100 feet, worthless for first person flying

Not sure with the range, but you can fly as far as you can see your plane. I never loose signal with this receiver before.

The maximal distance is given as 300ft/100m. But I strongly recommend to stay within a distance of 50m, since you will hardly be able to see the direction you are flying.

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.

Instructions says "fly past" and that is it. I have a DX9 with two antennas and the range is well over 200 yards. single antenna transmitters are approximately 50 yards.

As far as the on the radio. It boosts a range of 40 to 80 meters. That would be roughly 120 to 240 feet. I have got it up to 90 feet with no problems but at that distance the heli gets very same and hard to see. This copter is not ment to be flown at 200 or more feet. Most people that are not into RC hobbies always want to know how high a heli or airplane will fly without even wondering if they will be able to see it at a height of 1000 feet. I think that the range of 40 to 80 meters is very good for this transmitter. I personally like to fly mine no further than 60 feet away. Hope this helps.

Sorry not sure what your asking. I bought 2 niether one would fly. Returned both.

If by lift your asking how much extra weight it can carry, I think around 10-20g will work, but with reduced flight times. Without added weight it can climb pretty fast. How well it flies in wind is dependent on your skill, it will drift with the wind without user input. A new pilot will need calm air to learn, but an experienced pilot could probably still fly well in 20+MPH winds. It's small size means winds effect it less. As for height, higher than you can see it to control it. Range and height are at least 100 yards, but you will have a REAL hard time seeing ti to control it at that distance.

this is much more difficult to fly than those with the 2 main rotors which spin in different directions, I bought a roll of plumber's solder and experimented with wrapping various amounts around the landing gear in various places on one side or the other, still no real joy, still very difficult to fly. I also changed the tail rotor as per the internet which helped somewhat. Does not take off well from the ground, likes to simply tip over, either launch it from your hand or a wooden stool at least 30" off the ground.

Take two quarters and tap them at the front bottom side of the heli. Adjust more or less weight as needed. That will give u forward motion....
