my son says its easier inside because the wind will interfere with it flying straight. He is 9

Hi, I bought it for my son 11 year. It was too difficult for him to control. It is not ballanced so it is continuosly turning around itself which make it very difficult to control direction. So if you are outside you need couple of hundred meters free around you to not risk of flying over to the neighbor or on the sreet/water/roof or whatever your boudaries are. Next time I will aim för self stabilizing toy. Good luck!

Yes it can fly outside. Go to their website or youtube and check out the videos. It is pretty easy to fly, even for a beginner.

I haven't taken it outside yet since its winter where I live, its good for a beginner since its soo durable if u hit something, but try not to hit too many things lol

On a windless day the helix flies outdoors as well as it does indoors.The Helix4 is the drone for amateur drone pilots or newcomers to aviation.

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

Yes it can be flown indoors and that is what I'd recommend at first so you don't have to deal with wind. Even slight breezes are annoying at first. Like a coaxial? Not exactly. The MSR is a step up from a coaxial in complexity but also in fun. The price you pay is in stability. If you just want to have fun, a quad is your best choice after moving up from a coaxial. If you want to learn to fly a RC helicopter, then the MSR is a good step in the right direction. I wanted to learn to fly a collective pitch heli so I worked my way up from a coax, then the MSR, MSRx, then MCPx. Each are more difficult to fly, but more rewarding and are progressions to flying collective pitch. I got my first quad after flying the MCPx for a while and it's a blast. I still fly the MCPx though depending on what type of entertainment I'm looking for that day. If you want indoor/outdoor fun with the stability of a coax, and you are looking at the Blade line of helis, I would recommend the Nano QX.

Yes it is ready to fly. No need for anything, just unbox the helicopter and enjoy!

Yes. However if you do not have experience with RC helicopters this is not really a "first time" choice since the main rotor moves in all directions so it's not easy to control. Easier models only have forward and back with the main rotor, and you rotate the direction the heli is pointed in and then go forward or back. You should gain some experience with those first. With this one if you move too quickly with any right or left on it will easily flip and crash and it's also harder to trim. That said if you are already familiar with flying these things, it's a nice model and I"ve crashed mine a bunch of times with no damage. Yes.

Hello Patricia, instructions manual states that it's for older than 14 year old kids, but most little kids, even some toddlers, are able to fly RC helicopters easily. It just takes practice. This particular helicopter flies faster and is stronger. So, adult supervision is suggested as you stated. Hope this helps!

The manual just basically tells you how the controls work...the main thing is make sure you're in mode one and not mode two on the remote... the top left Silver button switches the mode...mode one is much easier to control...you can fly it in light wind or inside, but I would start outside in no wind to get used to it first

This is an extremely good option for a beginner. You hand launch. It can fly very slowly and it's tougher than it looks.

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 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.

This little Habu is not the same as flying a helicopter. And it can reach a speed close to 50 mph! Your acquired skills in flying a helicopter will certainly be helpful, though. I'd go to the Horizon Hobbies site and pick out a trainer with an AS3X system which will self correct itself in many ways. Still, AS3X will NOT fly the plane, but helps to stabilize it when wind threatens to throw your aircraft around the sky. I believe they also have a plane or two with a 'SAFE' system which is supposed to help beginner flyers. Better yet, call Horizon Hobbies and they'll recommend the right plane for you. They're very helpful that way. This little Habu is not the same as flying a helicopter. And it can reach a speed close to 50 mph!

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.

My understanding is that for an. RC plane it is very forgiving and good to learn on. But it is not a toy and certainly does not fly itself. The advice I was given seems sound: find someone with some experience to show you the ropes. There are apparently . many RC clubs around the country you could contact. Also, be prepared for the thing to crash, sustain damage, and need to be fixed. It's not super difficult, but it is something you need to be ready for. That's just sort of "the nature of the beast" for radio controlled planes, at least as far as I understand it. It would be the same issues with any other plan you might purchase.

I got this for my Fianc because he loves helicopters and was jealous of all the helicopters that my father had. This is probably one of the best little quadcopter that doesn't break the bank. It is amazing outside!! And extremely easy to use. If you want to use it outside, then this is the quadcopter for you!

This heli is pretty small and is not recommended for outdoor use. You can use it outdoors if there is no wind, but you will then run into a range issue with the remote. The outdoor helicopters are much larger and aren't controlled by IR.

If you're in a large enough area, it'll handle a little wind. It's light enough that it can get tossed if the wind picks up. We live where it's pretty windy for a good part of the year, so it ended up not being a really practical gift for my husband. The helicopter's a little big to be used inside, but a little small for medium to high winds. I got it because I was assured that it was a great helicopter for beginners to learn how to fly, and it is... if you have good weather. It flies like a dream on calm days.

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.
