Protocol RC Helicopter only works when its very close to the remote control?

Question by Someone: Protocol RC Helicopter only works when its very close to the remote control?
I just purchased a Protocol TigerJet RC Helicopter that has infrared controlling. The helicopter only works if the remote control is right next to helicopter. In other words, the helicopter does nothing when the remote control is a few feet away.

Do I have a defective unit or did I miss something?

Best answer:

Answer by Patrick
Sounds defective. It reportedly should be able to fly 20-30 feet away from the controller. Make sure your batteries in the controller are fresh and the helicopter is fully charged as this can affect ability to control the aircraft.
