how well does fly outside?

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I actually gave it to a young neighbor who joined the Navy. It has a lot of power with the 2 twin blades.

I have flown this outside on windy days and calm days. Calm days are great, but it has a hard time fighting almost any breeze.

This dual dual and all other dual rotor helis are crap outdoors if the is any breeze.

It is supposed to be able to fly outside, but when I tried, it did not have enough forward thrust to overcome a very light wind. I also had flight stability issues flying indoors and it's really too big to fly indoors unless you have a big space.

This Helicopter Flies Well Outside ProvidEd There Is Little Wind. I've Enjoyed Flying It Inside And Outside.

Flys well if there is absolutely no wind present. id reccomend having a big area with no obstacles.

Yes. Without a doubt. Maybe not with the vigor it flies with at sea level but it will fly and fly well.

In low wind conditions it flys great. Kinda challenging if winds are higher than 5-8.my favorite.

Any small craft will be affected by the winds. This preforms very well indoors, and somewhat ok outdoors. I would fly outside when the winds are slow.

No problem with light winds. Flies well with light gusts. I have had mine up in 5 mph winds and it handled it just fine.

Hi Tama, So far my 6 year old nephew has only flown it inside. I think you could fly it outside as long as you don't fly it beyond the controller range. That range is stated on the package, I just don't remember what it is. Ken

I am waiting for good weather to take it out to the back yard. I broke the landing skid 2 times indoors during my first few flights. Nothing else was damaged. Seems durable except the skid.

Not advised, you dont see much on flying in the rain but I have had it start to rain and flew it back in with no issues.

From my experience it reliably flies the route you give it. It will land where you tell it to.

Definitely, this plane is better in the wind than the Champ due to having twin motors, and the Virtual Instructor technology, which automatically keeps it level in wind. You don't have to always fly in completely flat weather, it can handle some wind, nothing over around 5- 7 MPH, it weighs about as much as a deck nail though, so that's a no brainer. It can do loops and can go inverted if you have enough room to come out of it. Great overall plane.

The supercub is a good size plane. You wont have a problem with light winds.

Easily controlled once it's trimmed correctly. Must be flown it extremely light air or inside for best results. If outside and the wind catches it then due to being so light, it can quickly be carried out of range.

You can fly outside but there has to be absolutely NO wind....Not even a trace! There is no forward thrust to speak of. The best place is in a gym or auditorium of some sort.

We live on 4 acres in the country and we flew it on a pretty windy day. Granted my 3 year old doesn't let out 300 yds of line. We've flown it several times and it's been great for it. Better than those plastic ones. Seems pretty durable for te price.

I've never really flown it outside, the most I flew it in was in an underground garage with little wind. But I have had a few of these things ranging from the $19 to the $100 variety and this one was the easiest one I flew, it was really responsive and did what I wanted. Happy flying

The slightest wind will blow this heli around. I have to turn off the ceiling fans in my home to fly it indoors. So I would NOT recommend outside flight.

This little Syma X3 is not really for the outdoors, especially if it's windy. But it will do just fine for short distance sunny non windy day. It's a lot of fun inside and out.
