cx3 range?
 

Does anyone know the range of the cx3? and what happens to the heli when it reaches the end of it? tried searching forum with no luck.

The range using the included radio is beyond your capable sight, you would no longer be able to see your CX3. That should be far enough don't you think?

How about too far... I lost my CX2 a couple of days ago. Nice calm day (below tree line). Went a little too high and the breeze took it higher. To avoid trees, I went over and tried to bring it back, but it kept going further and further until I lost sight. I bet it is still up in those trees somewhere. Haven't found it since.

Anybody wants to buy a transmitter, 2 batteries and some spare parts for the CX2?

I think I read about a guy testing the 6100 to 1.7 miles and the 6200 to 2.1 miles.

I've heard that also... Something like 1.5 miles for the AR6100. I've had my planes nearly a speck with a AR6100 and trust the range they give....

Well I regularly travel the entire length of a soccer field with my CX3 and have been about 80 feet in the air with no problems. To find out what happens at the end of the range, try this. FIre up your CX3 and have it hover close to the ground and close to you. Simply turn off the transmitter and see what happens. It should drop like a rock.

I recently got my new xtreme tail boom, xtreme se motors and new 3 in 1 with head locking gyro in my cx2 and went to a giant open grass field with a buddy of mine to fly it. There was alot of wind but every once in a while the wind cut out so i would do some free falls with the helicopoptor. I basically got it steady and flew it straight up intill i was unable to tell it's front from back, I then cut the throttle and watched it free fall untill it was about 10 feet from the grass and throttled up to save it. Very fun to watch lmao it made my friend yell at me because he wasnt sure if it was a mistake or on purpose. I guess why I told you this is kuz once you go up pretty high it gets scary an harder to keep control especially if you tell which way the heli is facing.
