## Description

You've never seen a paper plane like this! It belongs to the 4th generation of revolutionary aircraft launched by Kickstarter. With the assistance of autopilot and a 6-axis gyroscope, this dual helix system attracts a keen interest from any hobbyist, enthusiast, student or handyman. REAL FLIGHT - This system turns any paper plane into a remote-controlled paper plane! STABILITY - Automatic stabilization technology takes into account the wind, asymmetrical folds and allows you to fly an infinite number of aircraft models. EASY FIGURES - The Acro mode allows new aviation cadets to perform loops, barrels and roll-over. MODELS – The included models allow you to fold different types of aircraft and experiment with how different designs generate different performance, maneuverability and flight times. LONG RANGE - With a range of 70 m, your paper plane can reach a speed of 30 km/h! CONNECTION WITH SMARTPHONES - Instantly connects to any iOS or Android device through a free app. STEM READY - Teach your students lift, drag, thrust and gravity directly, and allow them to explore the limits of aerodynamics by making unique aircraft that push the boundaries of their creativity. FAST CHARGING - Fully charge your plane in just 30 minutes! DURABLE - The POWERUP 4.0 system is built with components that can withstand a disaster landing or an untimely bush. One year warranty. Ideal for anyone interested in airplanes. Buy the Night Flight Kit or Accessory Kit to experience your POWERUP 4.0 in a new way.

Review: Not worth buying - Expensive and poor quality. My son broke after only two hours of play.
Review: This gets a 1000/10 on the fun scale. I have never used the Invader fold that comes with the kit; I've always used POWERUP 4.0 with my original fold that I've been developing for years (see images; I'm a nerd.) Best place to fly for me has been an empty hotel ballroom, or an empty parking lot. (An empty ballpark or gymnasium might be good too.) My longest flight time is 7 minutes and 7 seconds, and it ended because the battery died. The flight time graph in the POWERUP app goes up to 8 minutes. Flight time probably depends on how draggy or efficient your fold is, and how you fly it (lots of climbs and tightly banked turns use a lot of thrust). The flight controls on the phone are very easy, but might seem awkward at first. There are presets for which model you have. There are also three "Custom Plane" presets, which worked for me perfectly for me without any adjustments. To fly, you hold your thumb down and that unlocks the plane's thrusters, and you slide up for more thrust, and slide down for less. Your thrust application changes your altitude. When you tilt your phone side to side, that is how your steer. (There is another control setting where you use two thumbs, but I don't use that one...) There is an "auto pilot" system that tries to make corrections and aids in your flight (for example, if the nose goes too high, it will cut the thrusters so that the plane doesn't stall). This can help your flight, but I find it can also cause odd oscillations to occur. You can try to dial in and tune your flight characteristics in the app (which is VERY COOL), but I honestly think it's way easier to adjust your fold for better flight before editing the characteristics in the software... If you want less "auto pilot" intervention, you can turn on "Acro Mode" which, I think, turns a lot of that computer stuff off. I only fly in Acro Mode, and my plane flies amazingly. As for frustrations... You CAN get really frustrated, especially when you're testing a design and you only have 8 minutes of flight to test. It takes about 15-20 minutes to fully charge. I usually use that time to fold another spare wing, or to try a new fold. Just keep in mind that you can easily wait 20 minutes for a charge and then waste the entire charge crashing every 15 seconds... Spare parts and accessories are easy to find, and they're pretty cheap. I have the landing gear installed, which, at first, I thought was silly and made the plane look silly, but my folds last longer because the landings are much softer now (even though not perfect). I never take off from the ground though; I always throw it, as there isn't much control when it's on the ground. A couple notes for success... Understand which ways the propellers rotate and which one goes on which side. There is a distinct left and right one; they are not the same! If you use tractor mode (where POWERUP 4.0 is installed with propellers in front) you'll have to swap the left and right propellers to reverse the direction of thrust. POWERUP says tractor mode hasn't been tested. I still think it's a challenge, but be careful when trying to fly in this configuration. I feel I get MUCH better flight control with "Acro Mode" on. Lastly, never fly with your phone in "Low Power Mode" as I've found there to be way more Bluetooth dropouts (it's generally a very stable connection though). Have fun!!!

## Features

- PILOTED FLIGHT - Grab a sheet of paper, fold it, and go! Instantly put yourself in the cockpit of an amazing smartphone controlled paper airplane that does high speed tricks. The bluetooth module, which includes autopilot control, connects to your phone so you can experience the sensation of flying countless paper, foam, and even Balsa Wood airplane models.
- INCREDIBLE STABILITY - Loops, Barrel Rolls, & Hammerheads are achieved with the special Acro Mode! Your paper plane’s onboard computer automatically calibrates your paper airplane for imperfect weather with a built-in launch assist and wind stabilizer. Now hobbyists, tinkerers, or students can become the flight controller!
- RAPID CHARGING - A 30 minute quick charge gives you 10 minutes of flight time along with an incredible range of up to 230ft! Traveling up to 20mph, your plane will spend less time on the tarmac and more time in the air. Simply connect the included micro USB cable to a charging port and plot out your next journey.
- STEM READY - Experience the aerodynamic forces that make flight possible through various wing configurations. Lift, drag, thrust, and gravity are learned first hand. Purchase the Night-Flight Kit and Accessory Kit to see how different parts create a new experience. Great for an outdoor class or exploration together with family.
- DURABLE - The POWERUP 4.0 paper airplane features a tough carbon fiber body, nylon-reinforced nose, and motor mount. Built to handle crashes, its onboard computer safely lands it if out of range. Comes with a two-year warranty for peace of mind.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this considered a done under California law?**
A: 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!

**Q: Can this be controlled via Android tablet?  Or only phones?**
A: Yes. The 4.0 can be controlled via Android tablet

**Q: Can you really use this with any paper airplane? I’d like to buy a book of paper airplanes to go with this as a gift but want them to be compatible.**
A: The POWERUP 4.0 has a companion book called The POWERUP PAPER AIRPLANE BOOK which is also sold on Amazon. This is the official and approved and tested book by POWERUP.
POWERUP 4.0 is designed to fly with many airplane options which you may find on other paper plane books and on the internet.

**Q: How do I charge the power?**
A: Module is charged with a micro-usb cable

*by Z***N on 29 December 2025*

Tolles Ding. Als erstes ging es ans Falten. Das YouTube Video geschaut, manchmal war es etwas schnell, aber nach ein paar Malen, war der Flieger gefaltet. Flugwerk an das usb- Ladegerät. Papierflieger einjustiert, App heruntergeladen und raus aufs Feld. Der Flieger ist wirklich sehr schnell und fas Fliehen braucht doch mehr Geschick als gedacht, aber der Spaßfaktor ist definitiv da. Das wird nicht der letzte Flieger sein, den wir kaufen. Der Bruder hat schon großes Interesse bekundet. Das liegt auch im Preisbereich für ein Geburtstagsgeschenk für Freunde. Definitiv eine Empfehlung. 👍🏼
