What is the radio range on the helicopter?

Its about 100 feet at most out doors. But only on a calm day other wise its to light and the wind will blow it around

The manufacturer says the range is 50 to 60 meters but I have had longer distance flights ( altitude + distance ).

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.

I cannot tell you the exact range, but in the open, it is a lot farther than I feel comfortable flying it. It is so far away that I cannot tell the "front" from the "back". I have flown the wifi out of range. I cannot tell you the range. I would think that the specs they give on the website are very close.Mike

controller can not be hooked to the helicopter. the radio controlls the copter from a distance.go to r/c flight school.com for instructions.

the best I can tell you is that the airplane will fly out of sight before you lose control of it. With nothing between the receiver and transmitter, it could be several hundred feet. At least 700ft. That's a lot of air space.

I use my Puxing radio in a location that is mountainous and heavily wooded. At times I have a range of about 5- 10miles. So, the range is dependent upon the terrain.

The range will vary according to atmospheric conditions, other traffic on a particular frequency, the kind of radio antenna you are trying to hit and the altitude above the sea surface you and the radio you are communicating with. Given that all conditions are good you should be able to hit the antenna you are trying for. The 15 mile line of sight is figuring that both antennas are on the ground. Each foot of elevation increases this dramatically. If there are rough seas or anything on the horizon it will cut you off and if there is much traffic on the frequency it will also hinder the signal. If this is a vital link I would suggest an external antenna or a base radio with more power.

I'm not sure. It comes with everything you need to fly the helicopter except the batteries.

Range depends on the CB antenna used, and location. With just 5 watts, you could get 5miles if you were on the flatlands, or a desert. Out on the countryside maybe 3miles. In the city about a mile, maybe. If you use it inside the car with just the rubber duck antenna supplied, virtually nothing. You need a CB antenna mounted on the roof of your car. Cobra has a 36" magnet mount CB antenna that works very well. Model HG A1500. In addition, you can use a linear amplifier to increase range (though it's illegal, it's commonly used) An RM KL-30 would increase your output to about 30watts, this increasing the range. Good luck.

The original version was rather limited in range at about 35 Ft where they claim around 100 for the 'improved' version The antenna that you see on the transmitter is a dummy and is actually inside the main case .It was the norm for people to do slight mods to the board increasing the range and all they have done is to do the same mods on the production models . They have also added LED lights alongside each engine pod which does nothing really for performance but adds a bit of 'bling' to the model . They claim some changes to the electronics board but I have fitted a new board to an earlier model where could not se any differance Still a nice little starter copter ,little bit twitchy but very soon overcome . Plenty information about this on RC Groups dot com

The standard transmit/receive ham frequencies for VHF are 144-148 which is 2 meters and 420-450 which is 70 cm. These units are good for these normal ham ranges, but not for your UHF requirements and not for VHF as low as 118.

If there is a mountain in the way, you won't be able to talk to someone on the other side since VHF is essentially line-of-sight. Weather and solar activity can significantly affect range. Since it is a handheld, and I believe only 5 watts, the higher up you are the better range you will get (line of sight). This one is special since it has a built in GPS which is now required for offshore racing.

I didn't see anything to switch frequency on helicopter, but remote can control the helicopter on both frequencies "A" and "B", so I just assume that even remote shows two frequencies, but for this model, both frequencies are same. Don't have the manual anymore, can't confirm it but it is how it works for me.

Yes, as long as your aircraft is equiped with radio too of course. I use it to talk to helicopters from ground.

I can not tell for shure what is the range , but the book sad 300 feet. I have 3 copmuters and 2 cell phones on it and never had any glitch . Everything runes smood.

Range is at least 25 - 30 feet. Don't know what frequency it broadcasts on.

Stephanie, the Rino 120 have a very good radio range. We use ours all the time while hiking in Utah. I would never leave my vehicle without one in the desert.
