Review: Lots of fun and so easy to use... - I was somewhat skeptical that this would be so easy to fly but i was wrong. The first time it left my hand it was up and flying. Like anything, it takes a moment to get a feel for the controls and a couple flights to get the trim set but in the mean time you're already flying and having fun. Easy to hook up with phone and rechargeable battery is long lasting on one charge. Also seems to be good quality and is durable. Worth the cost for so much fun right out of the box.
Review: Really fun and more solid than expected. - Amazing and really fun! Flies much farther and is more resilient than we thought. Takes some practice to control, but our whole family had a blast with it until it ended up in a tree. Our advice: find a large field to fly in, not your back yard; and buy two so you have a spare.

## 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!
- CONNECTED FLYING - Pair your plane with the POWERUP App to maneuver your plane, keep a robust flight log, compete with other flyers on the leaderboard, and learn to fold new plane designs.
- 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.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun while it lasts...
*by J***A on June 18, 2026*

This item was fun to build and takes some learning/patience to get it to fly well. Once our nephew (11) got the hang of it he really enjoyed the challenge and trying to set new records for height and distance. The parts are fragile and it does come with some extras (absolutely necessary), but it won't last long for younger kids. The learning curve will alone can be tough on the plane and the landings are unforgiving. I suggest a very wide open space with lots of soft grass, and be prepared to search for components that fall off during the landing.
