Do these fly as high as the original "Flare copters"?

They do fly as high, but they are junk. Very few actually worked and most broke the first time they landed. Horrible quality!

They fly as high as any other ones. Honestly, it all depends on how good you are with it. Smaller children will not be able to shoot them as high as teenagers and adults. It's like shooting a slingshot. Some people are better at it than others.

Our kids were able to get about 20-30 feet out of this brand. They were able to get Flare Copters up around 80-100 feet, huge difference!

I'm not sure I bought theses for a party to hand out in a grab bag, my husband said they went up about 30 feet, hope that helps you.

The flying ability of the v911 depends on how far the hand held remote control is from the helicopter. I can fly my v9ll heli 300+ feet and control it with no problem. Elevation should have no effect on the performance of the helicopter. However, this helicopter does not work well in windy conditions. I can fly my v911 in light windy conditions, but it is challenging.

The elevation isn't an issue. unfortunately, my experience was that the copter would not could not fly - due to a problem with the rotor gears. I returned it.

I have yet to get a successful flight out of mine, and I've flown my night vapor and larger scale Sensei and home built foamies pretty well. Part of it may be this one being more sensitive to the wind. But I haven't damaged it... Yet.

Yes but only with the standard landing gear. the tall landing gear cause the quad to sit up too high in the case.

They literally go up to the top on our house sometime. You can change the angle of where you want the Rockets to go so you can avoid it landing on your house but they go really high

Actually, the original answer supplier "KnowledgeisPower" has it backwards a bit. Fixed wing airplanes will have to fly faster at higher altitudes, but that usually doesn't require a huge increase in power for toys, they are very light, and it doesn't take a ton of power to lift a foam wing into the air. However, as you experienced, original question asker, rotary wing aircraft have a much harder time at higher altitudes, as they are totally reliant on lift from their rotors and get no lift from wings. This takes a lot more power at higher altitudes with thinner air, and even real world helicopters cannot operate at extreme altitudes whereas fixed wing aircraft simply add turbochargers or turbine powerplants to operate higher. So yeah, balloons and helicopters will be a problem for you at higher altitudes.

Yes. Without a doubt. Maybe not with the vigor it flies with at sea level but it will fly and fly well.

I have to qualify my last answer. I replaced the rolling casters with gliders, so yours will be higher. Sorry, I forgot about that.

Yes, if you look at the ones on your copter, there is an "A" & "B" blade. The new ones should have that too. Make sure you replace an "A" with an "A" and so on. Hope this was helpful.

According to the Chinglish description you would think so. I got a WL toys support tech on live chat while browsing and she says they are all the same frequency so no. Searched youtube and yahoo for simultaneous V959 Quadcopter flights and got nothing reliable in the affirmative. It is a fun copter with fair video for the price though. Returning to the ground from high altitudes is a bit tricky, but I see there is a new six axis model for a few bucks more that should take care of that.

It would cost as much as a new coptor. I can't get mine to fly forward even in a VERY slight breeze. Not what I expected.

These are very fast. Going over a bump our root at full speed will result in the rc going airborne. You may have some problems hitting trees resulting in parts breaking. They are highly repairable similar to what you would but at a hobby store. I have modified one of mine after things falling off.

Yes, there is an adjustment for altitude when you install. I have two units at 6500 ft and they work fine.

Yes, they do. Just purchased and fit in charger and copter perfectly. Bigger than stock battery, short test inside didn't reveal any stability issues with longer/heavier battery.

Yes, that's a pretty big jump. The mcx2 is a coaxial and so will be very stable in the air and will return to a stable hover if you release the cyclic (assuming the throttle is set correctly for a hover). The Nano is a different beast entirely. For one thing, it isn't stable in the air and won't hold a steady hover for more than a few seconds, if at all. If you push the cycle in one direction, the copter will continue in that direction until you give opposite cyclic. Holding a steady hover requires many tiny cyclic inputs a second. I would recommend getting a good sim first and learn to fly 6-channel collective pitch copters in the sim before ever buying your first real one. Yes, that's a pretty big jump.

No ,biggest pice of junk id ever bought , i got the 20 red one and the $35 green one they fly great i bought this pos i couldnt keep it in the air inside for more than 3 sec didn't stear worth a dam you could hold the lever all the way over for 5 sec for it to start to turn , dont waste your money on this pos , there are really cool planes for that price to fly outside and other quad copters and so much better stuff , i had a horrible experience with this one when I got it
