Infra-red outside – S110G micro heli

Conventional thought, says that infra-red controlled things that fly should never be tried outdoors. i wondered about that and knew that with enough cloud cover and at least a resemblance of calm conditions, that flying should be good fun at least. it is ! The S110G is so finely balanced, that a slight breath on them will send them zooming off. This one has a small piece of ferrite at the front (looking perhaps like a police video dome) because ti would slightly drift backwards in any case. Would it do ok outside in daylight ? I decided to find out. Not being much of a heli pilot, I need the practice anyway and this sort of thing is great training. This S110G is intended to be converted to wireless electric flight in the near future.
