How much space do you need to fly this heli?

Unless you are an advance skilled pilot, it's best outside. It's got good power and can easily get away from you.

It is not too big but not to small. I have hovered in my small living room and basement fine. Outside the wind affects it a lot therefore indoors is best.

That depends of your flight skills , I've flown it inside of my house without any problem !!!!And also flown it in a park or backyard too !!!

I wouldn't try flying it around a house but a gym would work. Here is a link to me flying one outside. http://youtu.be/v5NPRvBhcw0

I fly mine outside in a 50 x 30 foot area with no tree cover. it really isnt great for indoors, too fast and covers too much ground. It is awesome outside though. Highly recommend as an upgrade from the syma indoor copters.

No, just buy another full heli and use it for spare parts. You will need to replace the battery anyway and it will cost you half the price of a new heli sooooo it's better to buy a new one.

I do believe a coaxial heli would be a great choice to start with , it's a 4 blade configuration with gyros to keep it extremely stable and much easier to control, just make sure it's an outdoor version .. Hope this helps

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.

While you technically *can* fly it outdoors, it is VERY difficult. Flying indoors is a blast. In fact, I think this is hands down the best indoor heli. However, if you take it outside, fly it only with 0mph wind on an open grass field. Trust me, you are going to want 20 or more crashless indoor flights before taking it outside.

I would say 7 or 8 so that they can use the controls. This is the most stable to fly and easiest helicopter to fly I have ever purchased.

It is completely assembled and ready to bind to a controller and fly . Be warned though . This is a machine for advanced pilots , not some toy you see flying inside at the mall . One mistake can cause you to destroy the heli . As a advanced conventional pilot who isn't very good at 3d flying I can tell you it is a beast right out of the box . It will achieve speeds upwards of 60 mph and has a huge amout of collective pitch . Enjoy :-)

Blades: 26cmBody: 55cmMore or lessIt's my first helicopter... very nice and beauty. I flight in a farm... you need a big place to be safe

You can but you probably will have trouble especially if there is any wind. It's ment for indors and is considerd a beginners heli but it's a lot if fun. Get extra batteries if you get it

I have to tell you I live in a two bedroom townhouse my living room cealing is 20 ft high. The rc helicopter flys like a dream, I like landing it on the master bedroom balcony. So you would be ok with a 9ft cealing its lots of fun.

It is small. But it's supposed to be. The heli is for indoor use. It flies amazingly well. I've owned two of them. You won't regret your purchase. Steve

Rated at 70cm which is 27 inches, but thats blade tip to blade tip. The fuselage is actually about 21 inches, great heli just get some replacement motors.

I think a better option might be a 4-channel rather than a collective pitch copter like the Nano. 4-channel copters (like the v911) are stable in the air and if you release the cyclic, they will return to a hover on their own. A CP heli will not--they are not stable and will not hover by themselves for more than a second or two. They are very fast and they will shoot across the room (or into you) almost too fast to see at first.I'm not saying it can't be done, mind you...but expect to crash frequently and spend quite a bit of money on parts at first.

I'm not sure, but you could ask the question on Heli Freak, someone from the community would know and answer. http://www.helifreak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=76

As far as you need for regular flying. We have flown them very far away without control loss.

It all depends on how you went about leveling the swashplate. The heli needs to be on and all trims need to be in the middle. The plate needs to be at right angle from the main shaft in all directions. Get the plate as straight as possible and then use the trim adjustments on radio for final adjustments after that fly and make any other trimming that needs to be done to get it to fly like you want. Hope this helps and happy flying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
