It seems like all beginner/intermediate heli's (like this) that fly outdoors have problems with wind?Which product can best handle it in your opinion?

I love this Hel and I would heartily recommend it. No heli in this price point is going to perform well with in the wind, but of all of my units this one does the best job.

The new Syma S32 can be flown both indoors and out doors in light wind and it is a 2.4g transmitter so there will be little interference. Good price and ez to fly. I highly recommend it.

According to my daughter, this heli did good in a light wind and had good height and took some beating. The box states indoors on it but my grandson flew it outdoors and was very satisfied.

the 4 channel v912 from banggood.com its awesome wind or no wind and lots of power

For the price it is good and on the easier side to use. If it is your first one start with an indoor one first. They can be hard to handle outside and this helicopter is really small.

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.

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.

SusanI can probably help but I need more to go on than moves sideways to the left. Is this your first FP heli?Markmarknauman53@gmail.com

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.

I never had it outdoors. Indoor flight seemed inconsistent so I returned it. I have a Traxxas QR-1 and it flies fairly well in a light wind.

Yeah it can fly outside, but the wind has to be zero and you will be adjusting the trim to account for unseen breezes. I honestly wouldn't by this helicopter because it will decide to take off at full throttle and crash uncontrollably because you have to cycle the power toggle up and down to break the helicopter doing its own thing. Good news is that it is durable And can handle most if the crashes

I bought my online 8 months ago. I can honestly say it was one of my worst purchases ever! I had to by a new battery to get mine to work. The thing can't fly in any wind. Even on the calmest day it barely moves. Good luck with yours.

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.

If you are now good at flying a 4ch fixed pitch heli without any mishaps, then yes this would be my recommendation. I started on a trex 450 but wished I started on the 500 because it is more stable.

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

I have 3 of these and I can say that on take off the blades never spin exactly the same. Try a windless day and give yourself plenty of room then give it enough to get 8 foot in the air and you will find with some practice you will gain control. It is not something that happens in the first 3 or 4 tries. My hope is you have not given it enough power to really get in the air.

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

I land board with my B3 using 15mph winds. I way 160lb, so 15mhp winds is perfect for me. anything more is to much since I am still a noobie

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.

I've never flown one outside but I don't see why u couldn't , I do know if u try there can be no wind at all. The slightest wind effects them a lot . I've flown them around box fans and ceiling fans and they don't do good at all. If u want to fly outside I recomend a bigger heavier model like a syma so33g or one similar. I have a syma so33g and it's made to fly outside, even then the wind will effect it. You can fly it in a slight wind but once you get up to a 7,8,9 mph wind their to hard to control. Hope I could help

I am a novice, but I do recommend this heli, very easy to fly. I did go out on utube and made some changes they recommended to the tail rotor, better battery, lighter balance bar. I reversed the rotors to give more clearance but stripped out the screws and had problems after that. Very durable and fun to fly.
