I had only flown my Syma X8G once before I wanted to take it up and get a view of the sunset. I started taking it into the wind but then I could not overcome the higher altitude breeze and it flew out of sight! I found it the next day about 1/4 mile from where I launched. I still had control of it over 1000 feet away from me and I don't even know how high it was (I mean it was only 400 feet up, honest!). Flyaway drone
