Will this helicopter fly at high elevations? I live at 8,400 feet.

The only issue I could see you having is with the LiPo battery or air density being so low that the props cannot generate enough lift. As it is radio controlled there would not be any other issue other than possibly wind if you were outdoors this is definitely a copter for size-able indoor spaces. There is no blade pitch adjustments so you stuck with the lift you can generate although this guy is really light and you don't need much throttle at 1,000 feet above sea level to get it going. Having no experience at high altitudes it is hard to say, perhaps review the return/refund policy and take a chance?

I am at 1000 ft and it has limited performance. Good indoors but cannot handle the slightest of breeze outdoors. At your elevation may not get off the ground.Reg

I live at 2600 feet and it flys great here. I have even attached my iPhone to it and recorded video. You can see the video on YouTube if you search for Ramble SkyCam. My guess is, with the lifting power to be able to fly with an iPhone 5 it will do just fine at Denver altitude.

Hi Steve....I had no problem flying it 60' high in a couple hundred foot radius. It's a really cool product. It's best in little/no wind.

The S32 Lightning is the best flying helicopter that I have ever flown. I am very pleased with it. I rechecked the amazon add that I used and it does state the length as 14.6. I was actually happy that it arrived at 12" since I do my flying inside my garage.

Not sure if it can but I just used mine at 8800 feet for a week without issue.

I had mine at about 650 ft and it worked really good. I would suspect it would work at 800 if you had a clear view

Ours worked fine, it went very high, above our trees like 50' up just had to keep the throttle forward, you probably have a defective one. Just need to not crash land.

Yes, you could take it to the top of a 50 story building and fly it. When the props turn to lift, it does not matter what you elevation is, basically when the copter lifts up off of the ground at any height because the copter with the props turning has reached zero weight, otherwise you could fly it off a cliff and it would make no different. Prop lift still remains the same, after all the copter does not relate to height once it has taken off.

I flew mine around 500 feet away with no problem. Never really tried to push its limits.

I havent tried it at that high of elevation but the butane/propane fuel mix is pressurized so you should be able to get it working. On high it really puts out about a foot high flame. It will however take longer to boil water up there as I am sure you know. If you try it I would appreciate it if you let me know the results. Really how can you go wrong for $5.00 stove delivered. Good luck and alwyas remember to let someone know where you are going.

No it will not fly outdoors. I found that even a ceiling fan affects its flight.

Timothy, this helicopter works outdoors, but not when it is windy. I there is a small breeze it will not fly perfect but it still flies. All in all this is a nice, and good quality helicopter.

I have flown this outside,just be carefull on where you fly, ect the house, neighbors house,bushes,branches. Hope this helps. Bob

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.

Yes sir you can but be advised even the slightest breeze will send your chopper crashing down. I've lost one to a bad crash after it got swept away and landed 150 yards away from about 40 feet up.

400 feet is their limit....it might fly higher but i don't think that the camera will transmit further......Rob Reiner

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.
