is this copter good for outdoor flying

Not without modifications to the tail rotor. I've tried it with winds of 1-2 mph and almost lost it. I haven't modded it yet, but there are some good ideas online.

Only if there is no wind.This summer it should be great!but,this time of year where I live is just to breezy.

Only, & I mean ONLY, if there is absolutely no breeze, let alone any wind. I did all the mods- larger tail rotor, more weight in the nose, i even swapped in an F45 tail rotor motor which is about an extra 1/8-1/4 inch longer- and this heli fully charged cannot over come that much breeze or any wind. Bottom line I LOST IT!

Upgrading the battery and tail rotor is huge some weight in the nose helps. If you fly it often then you will want to put in a little bigger tail motor wl 913/f 45 are good choices.

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.

From my standpoint, very, very little. I fly in a rather confined area, and any wind will effect the flight. I have put it in the trees many times, because of the wind.

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.

No, this most definitely *cannot* be used outdoors. (Of course if *extremely calm/windless* then possibly). This is intended to be used indoors. I don't know what you're reading on weight, but the copter itself weighs mere ounces. I've owned several, lots of fun at a low price! J.~

If it did that, the wind might blow it away or you might loose it if the batteries in the transmitter were dead. I am glad my quadcopter is not programmed to do that. You will like this quadcopter. Flying this is a blast! Hope this helps.

Hi Stephen. Well it depends on how good you are flying it. I'm not a good pilot myself so I crash it a lot. It is capable of endure some crashes, but not all of them. Be prepared to spend some money on spare parts. On the other hand, I must tell you, this is not aún entry-level heli. It is up to you. Good luck

NO NO NO. The draft from the air conditioner in another room is enough to affect the flights of these small helis. I would NOT use this outdoors. It may fly but good luck having any sort of reasonable control. this goes for all the small Syma helis which I find to be really nice for their small $20-25 price point. You need one of the larger 12-18" (i think those are the sizes are somewhere in this range) and larger heavier helis to go outside.

It is likely the easiest of the outdoor helis available. However, outdoor air currents require constant compensation in comparison to an indoor S117 that effectively stays rock solid and almost flys itself. I had enough difficulty keeping it trimmed that I decided it wasn't for me, but if you are sure you want an outdoor heli, this is probably an excellent choice.

Yes it does. It uses radio waves instead of infrared like other small inexpensive copters. It also has enough mass to handle a light breeze. Real wind will defeat it however.

If you have a quad that has agility mode like the Nano QX then this might be a good step up. They say you can fly it indoors, but not as a beginner. If you fly over soft grass, and learn how to use the throttle hold switch it is a very durable heli. Be sure to order an extra spindle set or two.

no I would not take outdoors due to experience I lost 4 out of 5 helis outdoor,the helis that cost around 400 or 500 is for outdoors these heroes helis are alright for a warhouse or something big inside,good luck

I got this for my Fiancé 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!

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.

That is a great Quadcopter - I have used mine for quite a while and have bought a second battery for it to have more flight time. The 110V adepter for USB works very well.

If there is ABSOLUTELY no wind AT ALL, then it works ok outside. Or, as well as it does inside, anyway, which isn't all that well....This thing is challenging to control under ideal conditions, add a breeze to the equation and you should plan to spend more time hunting for it in the trees than actually flying.

I've never tried, but I think it would be extremely susceptible to wind so you would want to be careful to only try it on very calm days. I can see just messing around with it on the back porch or something, but for serious backyard flying you might want to look for something bigger with higher performance and longer range.
