PowerUp Airplane 4.0: smart RC dart with remote control

Do you remember folding paper darts? Now you can take this experience to a whole new level. PowerUp 4.0 turns an ordinary sheet of paper into a fully functional airplane controlled via a smartphone.
Whether you are looking for an original outdoor activity for your children, an ideal gift, or want to try the role of a pilot yourself and test the laws of aerodynamics, PowerUp 4.0 will bring a smile to your face and provide fun, during which you will also learn what actually keeps real airplanes in the air.
Key features of PowerUp 4.0

• Stable connection: The Bluetooth module offers smooth control at a distance of up to 70 meters.
• Good battery life: The battery lasts up to 10 minutes of flight on a single charge. Charging takes approx. 25 minutes.
• High speed: Two powerful motors can propel the model up to 32 km/h.
• Smart stabilization: The built-in gyroscope with accelerometer stabilizes the flight and compensates for light wind.
• Mechanical durability: The construction uses lightweight and strong carbon fibers supplemented by an impact-resistant rubber tip.
• Wide compatibility: The quick-release system works with paper, balsa, foam and cardboard. Everything up to a weight of 20 grams.
• Modern app: The free app for iOS and Android (requires a smartphone with at least Bluetooth 4.0 and a gyroscope) provides telemetry, tables and guides.
  Ready to fly in a few minutes
  You can manage without technical knowledge or lengthy study of manuals. You assemble the basic model according to the enclosed templates just as easily and quickly as folding a classic dart. Then simply attach the motor module and the stabilizing rod, secure everything with adhesive tape (in case you happen to crash), pair it with your phone and you can take off.
  The quick-release system allows you to experiment not only with ordinary paper, but also with light cardboard, balsa wood or foam materials. The onboard computer also automatically corrects minor folding inaccuracies, so even complete beginners will enjoy a smooth flight on the very first try.
  Perform aerobatics like a real pilot
  Control is extremely intuitive; you determine the direction of flight simply by tilting the phone. The integrated gyroscope and accelerometer ensure stable movement through the air, and through the app you can easily activate automatic aerobatic elements such as loops or spins. Two high-speed motors provide sufficient thrust, and the system effectively compensates for less than ideal weather conditions.
  High durability and a range of optional accessories
  Crashes are part of learning to fly. The module body is made of rigid carbon fibers and polypropylene, while the front part is safely protected by a flexible rubber bumper. This combination of materials ensures minimal weight while maintaining excellent mechanical durability. If a more serious accident still happens, for example after repeated impacts with a wall, we recommend having the PowerUp Spare Parts Kit (4.0) on hand.
  The flight center right in your phone
  The control app for smartphones works as both your personal flight instructor and dashboard. During flight you monitor real-time telemetry including battery status, Bluetooth signal strength and current motor output. For fine-tuning the flight characteristics you can also use advanced sliders directly on the display.
  The app further includes an extensive library of detailed video tutorials, tips for improving aerodynamics, and plans for building other types of paper models.
  Everything needed for the first flight
  The basic package contains the smart dual PowerUp 4.0 motor, a charging cable, spare propellers, a cross brace, a card for adjusting the flap angle, and a set of sheets. The whole set works as a fantastic gift, with which young and old pilots will find everything needed to take off immediately.
  For the maximum flying experience we recommend purchasing the PowerUp Paper Templates Airframe (2.0/4.0) pack. In addition to attractive colorful prints, it includes special water-resistant paper, so you can land calmly in wet grass.
  Practical tips for the best flying experience
  To keep your PowerUp 4.0 airplane happy for as long as possible and make every flight perfect, we have several proven tips from practice:
• Flying without bureaucracy: The module weighs only 19 grams, has no camera and falls into the toy category, so it is not subject to the strict European drone registration legislation. Fly completely worry-free.
• What age is PowerUp 4.0 suitable for? We recommend flying independently for children from 8 years old, and even then adult supervision is appropriate. The airplane reaches high speeds and an impact can hurt. Likewise, it is not a good idea to touch spinning propellers.
• Airspace without barriers: For relaxed flying, choose open spaces with a soft surface, such as parks or meadows. The smoothest flights happen on calm and sunny days. For safety reasons, avoid dense built-up areas and definitely do not fly near power lines. Flying in rain will damage the motor and the dart.
• Safety when signal is lost: If you accidentally fly the airplane beyond the 70 m range, the onboard system loses communication with the phone, automatically shuts off the motors, and the dart glides safely to the ground by itself.
• Battery care: You can easily extend battery life by charging it right after every flight. This keeps the dart always ready for action and prevents battery degradation.
• How to get maximum range: You can easily improve Bluetooth range by turning off Wi-Fi on your phone, while leaving Bluetooth active of course. Removing the phone's protective case can also improve the signal, and be sure to check that, for example after a fall, the airplane's antenna still points straight up.
