The radio has a range of about a mile. Unless you have a VERY large machine, you'll lose sight of it long before that

Well... lets seee[>:]
... the average RC heli can fly a bit over 45 mph... and has about a 25 min fuel supply... I'd say 20 mles If you are chasing it with a pickup on a cross country flight.
The radio's average efective range is about 1.2 miles. The maximum effective range is 7 miles under ideal conditions. (you will not be able to see that heli at all for sure at 7 miles
)
Average visible range for the Heli (as a dot n the sky) 1/2 mile If its beyond about 700 ft you are going to have problems figureing out which way its pointed.

Ah... with that range, imagine u install a micro camera with the same or more transmitting wattage as your TX and u need a portable TV or monitor for receiving, U might ever to fly further than your eyes can see!
