When it is flying in the outdoors, the wind resistance is impressive, plus built-in 6-axis gyroscope, flying quite stable. At the same time, the engine speed, the output power is very high, so ascend very fast, when tested to full output, less than 15 seconds has ascended nearly 100 meters. During the test flight, found MJX X101 control range more than 100 meters, conservatively estimated to about 150 meters, but in the long distance, the control response will be a little delay, should pay more attention when fly the X101.
