How far from the distance of the remote control will the helicopter fly before you have to move closer to it?

I've flown it about 25-30 ft away without problems. This is really more of an indoor heli unless its a really calm day, so 30 ft would usually be pretty decent. It doesn't have a long antenna, so much more than that would not be expected.

I do not Know the answer to your question. I have flown my MCX2 outside a couple of times and I can saythe distance of the remote control from the heli is more than adequate. Keep in mind that the MCX2 is a small heli and you must be able to clearly see its orientation to be able to fly it. I don't think you will bedisappointed in the range of the remote.

I fly mine outside and inside the only thing about flying it outside is 1) it can't be windy and 2) you have to keep it in range of the remote.

Full Charge will give you 10 to 15 minutes depending how (hard )you fly it.Ive had mine 200 feet,Beware of wind up there Can be bye bye Helicopter. Always fly on #2 setting or you will never gain control.Buy 4 extra tail motors,your gonna need them. Have fun:)

It seems to me that I have to be considerably closer than 20 feet to activate it.

The battery will last about 8-10 minutes depending on payload and wind conditions. I flew it far enough that i lost sight of it. Some have said that with a on board camera and viewing system, you could go up to 1/2 mile away.

Yes, you caryy the transmitter with you, though I am not sure of the range. We have not searched for the cane (our item most often misplaced) further than 100 Ft.

Sometimes it hovers, sometimes it flies away...but it lands in a few minutes. Don't loose sight of it or range over 100 ft

it all depends on the strenght of the incoming signal. It could go as far as 3 miles in line of sight.

This little helicopter has to stay in your line of sight in order to control it but it can pretty much fly as far as your room/area allow. It will fly outside but there has to be in zero wind. Equipment is good and it will fly further than you can adequately see in order to accurately control it. Hope this helps!

About 50' yards, although conditions and the tablet you're can vary this. You can also find "range extenders" on the internet, but I haven't tried any of them. I get a bit nervous past about 100' but, theoretically, the drone will stop and hover if it loses the signal ... theoretically. That would allow you to move closer to regain control. I just picked up a GPS device for my drone which should by-pass range limitations since the control signals should come from it, not your tablet. Haven't wrung it out yet, however, so that's more "theoretical" bits.

The furthest I've flown is about 1 kilometre which is about 1/2 a mile from where I was located. I had no control problems at all. Because I was in a ravine my video glasses had a lot of interference and at times it was hard to see where I was going. I wouldn't chance going any further. Although I couldn't see mine, it's good to keep it in line of site. If it looses your signal it should go into safe mode and fly back to where it took off from automatically . I hope this helps, I really like my phantom and fly as often as I can....Jim Hooper

This helicopter is about 18 inches long, it is a large helicopter. We don't have a camera on it.

I get about 150' out of mine. Much has to do with the battery, objects between you and your vehicle, where you placed your receiver. I use mine on my sons quad while its on the trailer. The remote will sound several hundred feet away and through glass when you set the alarm off.

Not very far. The remote can be sensative to other devices and makes noise when there is no movement. We used the sensor by itself because the bell is loud enough to hear in the next room.

That's hard to answer. If you are using it a plane, the range will be further than you can see it. Can't really tell you the distance in feet.

Be sure that the batteries in the remote are fresh charged alkaline and make sure the helicopter battery is also fully charged. When you know this and want to fly, face the helicopter away from you and activate the controls......have fun.

Yes. mine from Amazon had the control box. I would say that about 60 miles is the limit in distance.
