    In most countries you have to keep the quadcopter in visual sight, which means that flights are not too far away!

    However, the range of a UAV is dependent - not on the brand - but on the specific receiver and transmitter as well as the battery, speed and many other factors. All things being equal, you will get more range out of a winged "drone" or one that switches from quadcopter to winged flight - like this:

    Also, many UAV's have the ability to do "mission planning" via GPS, so they can - in theory - fly far out of the range of the transmitter.

    However, given that we cover mostly hobbyist quadcopter here, most of them stay within a km of the operator - and usually much closer. Those who fly further usually report losing their machines because in the hobbyist price range you simply are not getting machines which are super-reliable.
