Silverlit RC Spy Cam Helicopter outdoor test and crash

[Fantasmo81]

How high can it fly? Maybe 3 meters or is that too far away from the remote control?

@Fantasmo81 Not sure how high yet .. the problem here was a slight wind and bright sunlight (confuses the IR remote control). Indoors I've had it approx 5 meters from remote and it's been OK. I'm waiting for a dry dull non windy day to test outside again :)

@Fowleys Thank you for your reply. I'm knew to this helicopter thing...I believe infrared helis are not so good for outdoor things?! I would try to make some shots outside maybe from above my house, but maybe for this another type of heli would be better?!

@Fantasmo81 You're right - I think for mainly outdoor use a RF heli would be better.

@Fowleys Ok, thank you for your recommendation. I will watch out for these kind of helis when I buy one.
