How much of a wind and or wind gust can this take before losing total control of it's flight? Also about how much does the copter itself weigh?

From my experience up to 35km/h is OK to fly. For winds speed more than that i.e. above 40km/h, you need to be very careful (you will have problem bringing your phantom back especially opposite wind direction). Dji phantom2 vision+ with battery weigh roughly 1.240kg.

Pretty light weight. I wouldn't purposely fly it in windy conditions, but it does fine with occasional gusts.

It flies 35 MPH so that's about all it can handle as far as a wind gust. I have flown mine at the beach several times without losing control. As you should know, the beach gets windy.

In gps mode drone will maintain position regardless of wind. In windy conditions drone will get pushed, but will constantly be trying to maintain same position via the gps setting. So you should not lose total control it will just not be a smooth hover

No. Those are way too heavy for this tiny copter. It is designed to only carry its own weight.

Not too fast..compared to a RC plane. But enough to chase my kid on an electric scooter that rated 15mph during the summer with no wind. It think its fast enough for a quadcopter. We love ours.x2. Still working.

The Helicopter can fly up to 90 feet,I would advise you in the beginning to keep it 30 feet and under.I had an experience when I flew to high it was swept away by updrafts.Make sure you fly not more than 10mph wind speed.

Hello, This is a really nice heli for indoors and outside with little or no wind. It measures just about 9 inches long and 4 inches high. I have two of them and have had them for about a year. Fly them a lot. It is a really tough little bird. Ive only broken one tail rotor between the two. Great for a beginner or someone that like to play indoors. I think you would like. Enjoy, Ray

No. The heli is appx. 7.9 inches long and weighs about 1 ounce. Because it is so lightweight it is really an indoor only heli - though you can fly it outdoors in dead calm. Any breeze at all will be too much for this little heli to handle. It's a perfect beginner's heli and Blade customer support is excellent.

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.

I'm not sure of the height or weight capabilities, but it is extremely light weight & blows over with a slight breeze. There's a reason they are so affordable. :(

Never tried it outdoors, but that thing is tiny (will fit in the palm of your hand), so I would not expect it to fly decently with wind.

I've never flown one outside but I don't see why u couldn't , I do know if u try there can be no wind at all. The slightest wind effects them a lot . I've flown them around box fans and ceiling fans and they don't do good at all. If u want to fly outside I recomend a bigger heavier model like a syma so33g or one similar. I have a syma so33g and it's made to fly outside, even then the wind will effect it. You can fly it in a slight wind but once you get up to a 7,8,9 mph wind their to hard to control. Hope I could help

If by lift your asking how much extra weight it can carry, I think around 10-20g will work, but with reduced flight times. Without added weight it can climb pretty fast. How well it flies in wind is dependent on your skill, it will drift with the wind without user input. A new pilot will need calm air to learn, but an experienced pilot could probably still fly well in 20+MPH winds. It's small size means winds effect it less. As for height, higher than you can see it to control it. Range and height are at least 100 yards, but you will have a REAL hard time seeing ti to control it at that distance.

The helicopter itself (with battery installed) only weighs an ounce. But combine that with the radio (and batteries) and charger and that's probably the 2.4 lbs Amazon is referring to. The other dimensions are probably for the box, not the helicopter itself.

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.

Had similar problem. Out of the box, the copter flew fine (apart from my novice controlling). From the second flight onward, it would not get any higher than a couple of inches off the floor. I trolled the forums to try and solve the issue. I purchased a replacement battery, struggled with the fiddley fitting of it and still not sorted. I've now ordered another copter off amazon 'cos my lad (and me) really want to have one of these working. As a last resort I've just applied a little WD40 (via the WD40 straw) to the cogs and the bottom of the shaft and Hey Presto, works a treat! Looks like me and the boy will be duelling now that i've ordered a second! Hope that this helps anyone with the same issue. Had similar problem.

Average 5 to 7 minute flight time. I have always kept it within 100 Ft or so without any problem. you can tighten the metal rod on the control arm adjustments. Very easy to do and makes it much more fun to fly.

I have not flown mine in a few months but if i remember right 10-15 min. And when it dies it cuts out qiuck with little warning and will drop like a rock! Still fun to fly and pretty rugged.
