Art,

Without the radio signal from the transmitter, the receiver will
respond to noise and move the control servos to unpredictable
positions, pretty much always resulting in a crash. Modern PCM
receivers can be programmed to assume pre-set control positions in the
absence of the control signal. This will usually result in a crash.
I have hundreds of hours flying RC model aircraft.

The instructions say it can take of and also land on at from hard surfaces.
With two engines being in the contol positions of either on or off it would
suggest that without power the plane will "glide" to a landing. this gliding
after exceeding transmitter range does present distance measurement
problems. Perhaps if the plane was weighted the landing could be more
"precise" as you say
but short of a "crash"
Seems like toys holds interests of every one .

Let's be precise - it will crash...
