Product description

Tired of your paper planes hitting the ground before you could even start enjoying the moment?

We get it. It takes favorable weather conditions and a near-perfect throwing technique to keep your paper airplanes airborne for more than a couple of seconds. In fact, the longest recorded paper plane flight time (thrown from the ground) was just under 30 seconds. That’s how challenging the whole thing is.

But what if you could give your creations a little extra power? What if there was a way to easily shatter the 30 seconds world record for the longest paper plane flight?

Fly longer, farther and higher than you ever thought possible with the POWERUP 2.0 Paper Airplane Conversion Kit!

Meticulously engineered to turn your paper airplanes into actual flying machines, the POWERUP 2.0 Airplane Conversion Kit gives your creations enough juice to stay airborne for over 30 seconds on a single charge (which only takes up to 20 seconds).

The engine also works with an impressive range of paper plane designs so there’s really no limit to the kinds you can pilot. The pack even comes with two sample designs that you can start with and build on as you become more experienced.

Using it is as easy as child play. Slide the propeller unit onto a homemade paper airplane you make, quick charge within 20-seconds and launch!.

Sounds promising, right?

It’s also an educational experience — POWERUP 2.0 meshes origami, physics and incorporates all the components of STEM, (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math). This unique combination allows for schools and teachers to educate students using project based learning and learning the principles of Flight and Aerodynamics.

✅ Suitable for large indoor, football field and park.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatible with an apple iPad
Answer:	Yes POWERUP 4.0 is compatible with iPads.
Question:	Are tbe templates the actual plane
Answer:	The templates are sheets made of high quality paper and printed with folding lines. Using origami folding you craft the easy to fold invader airplane design which is the basic model that comes with the POWERUP 4.0
Question:	Is this considered a done under California law
Answer:	Technically it is an UAS (Unmanned Arial System). If you are concerned about needing to register it with the FAA, you don’t. An aircraft under 250 grams do not need to be registered if you are flying for recreation/hobby. California recognizes FAA laws and, to my knowledge, does not impose anything on top of standard FAA laws. So, enjoy the day and fly this for fun at your local park. Just use common sense and not fly it near people, animals, or buildings! Enjoy flight and enjoy life!
Question:	Can this be controlled via Android tablet? Or only phones
Answer:	Yes. The 4.0 can be controlled via Android tablet
