can you fly it outside?

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.

No, the RC works by Infrared, any sunlight will interfere with the signal and it will drop out of the sky like a rock. It is also extremely light, so the slightest breeze will affect it quite significantly. If you have an open outdoor area (like a garage) that shields from sunlight, this will work.

Yes you can. In fact, if you have little to no wind where your live, I'd recommend it if this is your first time learning how to fly a helicopter. I'm a first-timer, it helped me. I've only flown mine a few times and flying it outside once instantly made me a better driver. There's more room to play around, obviously, so you can learn the controls better.

We haven't tried because its been snowy and windy. Based on how it flies inside (once you get the hang of the controls) it would be easier to fly it outside. It really zips and we keep running into stuff inside. Only downfall is that the battery doesn't last as long as we would have hoped.

it works on the shaded side of my house. but when it hits direct sunlight it will fall. also the wind makes it hard to control since it's a small copter.

The Syma R/C Helicopter can fly outside but I noticed that under bright sunlight it seemed like it would lose signal to the remote control and fall from the air. It is a sturdy little thing though as that happened a number of times from 10 feet in the air and hit the driveway and it still works well. I thought it was the sun that caused the signal disruption because in the covered garage, it flew great with no signal disruptions. The wind can also make it drift a little because it's so light. Hope this answers your question! I thought it was a great beginner copter for the price, very easy to fly.

I purchased this for my grandson. He flies it mostly outside, but sometimes inside. He has really enjoyed it.

Yes. as long as there in NO WIND. It is designed to fly inside and, as it is extremely stable, to practice precise control.

It can but it must be in little or no wind. It is very sensitive to air movement and the household vents can move it if flown too close.

Yes it is, you can learn how to fly it but you should take a look to YouTube videos before trying to fly it.

It's an indoor heli, but it does pretty well outdoor too. If there's any wind, that messes with things, but as long as you're careful it'll be fine outside.

Negative. It doesn't fly. It is a really fun tho. I pull it in a hard turn at 40 mph behind my Yamaha jet boat and you can lift the edge and it won't roll over.

It flies outdoors fine, you just have to be aware of the surroundings like trees, power lines and the one you can't see, the wind. so it doesn't take it away from your control

I wouldn't try flying it around a house but a gym would work. Here is a link to me flying one outside. http://youtu.be/v5NPRvBhcw0

Just like any of these micro helicoptors, slight breeze is going to ruin the precise control. But outdoors flying will provide a different kind of experience. I believe that the most fun would come from flying this thing outside in a windless calm day.

No. This thing is small and light. I couldn't figure out how to fly it. No matter what I did it just went where it wanted to. If you put your go Pro on it you might never see it again. My Walkure is still up in the tree somewhere.

Yes-- but not on a windy day because the helicopter is light and will get blown around. It's super fun to fly inside-- it's very precise and fun to control (this is all info from my 17 year-old son... I just bought it-- I don't fly it:))

Yes sir you can but be advised even the slightest breeze will send your chopper crashing down. I've lost one to a bad crash after it got swept away and landed 150 yards away from about 40 feet up.

I'd love to be able to answer that, but I sent it out of state for my grandson's birthday and never got to actually see him use it. I was told it did great in the house and was a nice product. He loved it! I don't know why it wouldn't be able to fly outside unless, of course, it was extremely windy. Wish I could be more help.

Yes, fly with your back to the wind and keep the glider in front of you. Don't go too high or let it fly downwind away from you. You can have a lot of good flying with this gliders. You'll need extra batteries.

the wl v911 will fly outside, but any wind will push it around, best to fly on calm day. i have flown in like 3 mph or more, its a challenge. but it is a great helicopter. i have 2.

It's pretty fast. I go around our neighborhood on it and if you get a hill you can fly.
