PowerUp 4.0 Smartphone Controller Paper Airplane

 




This is a review of the PowerUP 4.0. This is a successful Kickstarter campaign which completed in 2020. I`ve received my bundle of airplane related goodies and had a few builds and test flights.

The video below goes through an unboxing, the first builds, test flights and important information on flying the plane such as the minimum amount of space needed to fly.

The RC remote control plane is controlled using a smartphone using bluetooth. This allows you to control the RC plane from either an Android phone or iPhone. The range is not particularly long, but that works well as it stops the plane from flying too far out of control.

The amount of space needed is very important. I nearly lost the airplane on my first flight due to it landing in the middle of a bunch of bramble bushes. It was only my determination to retrieve it that convinced me to walk through chest high brambles to retrieve the plane.

My later flight was in a much bigger field.
