what happens if the copter goes out of range with the remote?..does it start to just fall?

lol yeah it does just fall when its out of range. My brother and I were flying it outside and flow it out of range and got it stuck on the roof of our house. It was about 75ft i think. Hope that helps

From what I experienced the gyro will level it out and it does fall straight down but it didn't slam.. But I have not fully tested this at higher altitudes. This little guy is very resilient to crashes.

Pretty much, it will sort of wobble around, sometimes just drop, but once it gets the signal back it will start back up.

The flying range is about 1000 feet. When it leaves the control zone it will return to hover 20 feet about the starting point as directed by the onboard GPS. In 30 seconds it will land where it took off from. The Wi-Fi range is about 200 feet. When the copter leaves the zone the camera will continue to operate according to the last instructions from your iphone. You will lose the image on the phone and know it is now out of range. Different cameras operate at different distances. The camera shown with the DJI Phantom FC40 will only transmit back to the iphone about 200 feet.

Yes but it is a very simple procedure. As far as the "flying away" horror stories go, I have had it happen once. The reason it flew off was entirely my fault (as is the case in most cases). I forgot to flip the GPS switch to "on". If it happens to you then all you have to do is turn your RC controller "off" before it gets to far away, and it will return home. It a great product and a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Afraid you'll have to contact the Company. My copter broke before the motors gave out and I just trashed it.

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. As far as the on the radio.

Don't know. Servo stopped functioning before we got off the ground. Manufacturer was of no use helping with a repair solution. Servo is soldered to circuit board which is glued to fuselage. The fuselage would probably float.

It will keep flying. There are no automatic land or hover features in this quad as far as I know. Check the batteries in your controller. Your range sounds too short.

As far as I know it only binds to its own remote. Great 4 channel entry level copter. Once you have remote, you can get replacement copters for about 25 bucks.

Yes it is. I experienced this problem with two different models and each time the motor did burn out. Brand new this quad-copter is great fun and easy to learn to fly. I can not believe how high I was able to get it to go and still maintain control of it. If they could work out the motor problem, it would be a great toy for anyone.

It just slows down and will descend. It slows enough that the lift is reduced so it will come down fairly smooth before it completely shuts down. I'm not sure how high this can actually go so if it happened at its max altitude it might come down faster than you would like buy I haven't ever had that occur.

exact same problem with mine...only it flew once right out of the box, worked great...recharged it then tried to fly it again and just like yours, rotors spin and the copter spins but it wont take off...

Unsure. I emergency stopped it in flight in my house, about 8 feet off the floor, and it broke on impact with the floor. This drone is very, very fragile.

I have not flown mine in a few months but if i remember right 10-15 min. And when it dies it cuts out qiuck with little warning and will drop like a rock! Still fun to fly and pretty rugged.

The only issue I could see you having is with the LiPo battery or air density being so low that the props cannot generate enough lift. As it is radio controlled there would not be any other issue other than possibly wind if you were outdoors this is definitely a copter for size-able indoor spaces. There is no blade pitch adjustments so you stuck with the lift you can generate although this guy is really light and you don't need much throttle at 1,000 feet above sea level to get it going. Having no experience at high altitudes it is hard to say, perhaps review the return/refund policy and take a chance?

Send it back!! My son had the same trouble... After reading the instructions, my husband and I both tried to sync the copter to the controller multiple times without success. I ordered a different brand and sent this one back

Can't say for sure, but I've controlled it well beyond 50 feet. I'd guess closer to 150, but I have no actual stats. As far as the value of the copter, I paid over $100, and I think it was worth every penny.

Replace all the batteries, it that does not help then you might have problem with the control unit itself. I could never get my flying because even that motors were running, the quadcopter did not respond to the commands from the control unit. I returned it.
