Take your paper airplane to new heights with PowerUp 4.0

Who can remember 7th grade english class when Rodney perfected the fold of paper and launch his c+ essay towards the chalkboard?   Unless you were one of 13 kids in that class then maybe you had a similar experience?   There are over 50 paper airplane designs and kids around the world have made at least one in their childhood.   Now with the help of PowerUp Toys the new PowerUp 4.0 Airplane turns your paper airplane into a RC controlled plane with your smartphone.

This past weekend I spent the day with my 10 year old son making 2 versions of the paper airplane that was provided in the kit PowerUp Toys sent over for testing.    It was a delight to watch my son build his airplane with the help of quality YouTube instruction videos.  We then headed outside to take our first test flight.  I would suggest heading to a field or park and not test next to a busy street.   By the third launch we were able to get the plane to fly for over 1 minute, but then the plane took a kamikaze beeline for oncoming traffic.   A mere 2 inches or 5.08 cm away from collision and what I would assume the last flight.   We rushed out into the street dodging traffic like frogger to retrieve our survivor plane.
