About POWERUP 4.0 The Next-Generation Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane Kit
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
85% appreciated the additional features
I love the additional feature of the hobby rc airplanes, which allows me to fold and choose other planes in the app, track which plane I have flown, and see each flight with its duration.
78% found it easy to assemble and maintain
After 20 rough landings, the soft nose piece became damaged, but I was able to fix it with a small amount of glue from my glue gun.
70% appreciated its long battery life, though 30% found it short-lived
I felt like I got closer to 15 minutes of battery life, even though I wasn't running at full throttle.
I flew the plane for so long that it didn't touch the ground until the battery died.
I estimate that the plane will work for 3-4 months with daily use before the battery or something stops working.
89% appreciated its durability
Hobby-rc-airplanes are virtually indestructible due to their low weight.
I find the product to be solid and durable with controlled use, but it can break if not used carefully.
70% liked the responsive radio control system, but 30% experienced interference
Using the autopilot and gyro stabilizer makes it easier for me to control and fly the paper airplane, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
After only a few tries with the iPhone controls, we were able to fly the planes around in circles.
I had to take a minute to understand the controls. I figured out that the phone gyro controlled left and right, and the slide was only throttle. After that, I was able to fly pretty well continuously.
I gifted a remote controlled paper airplane to my grandson but the app was incompatible with the model.
81% praised for its scale accuracy and detail, while 19% found it lacking
I have never used the Invader fold that comes with the kit and have always used POWERUP 4.0 with my original fold that I have been developing for years. I am also a nerd.
I experienced a nose dive in the plane from 30 feet due to a small breeze.
