The range is heavily dependent on direct line of sight operation and the environment. An open environment is the ideal setting. Indoor in metal or reinforced concrete buildings can be challenging environments. The video system will begin to lose signal before the control signal is lost, so the quality of the video reception naturally limits range. WARNING: Do not climb beyond reasonable low altitudes, or try to push the range to see how far the quadcopter will fly. Pushing the limits before learning the basics can quickly lead to the aircraft getting lost or stuck in a tree. The kit is intended for close range, low-level racing and was not designed to climb high or travel great distances from the user. 2-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Fat Shark Tech LTD covers the Fat Shark 101 system from manufacturer defects for 2 years from the date of purchase.
