Not worth buying

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018

Verified PurchaseEarly Reviewer Rewards(What's this?)

The concept of this is neat, however, after a few uses it no longer works. You are supposed to be to replace the propeller but when you try to take it off to remove grass and other debris the motor comes out. The motor has very little glue holding it in and then is impossible to put back once it comes out. It will disconnect and fly in any direction landing it in your neighbors bushes. The app is glitchy. When you try and turn it rotates the whole screen even with screen rotation locked (Samsung Galaxy S 7). I'm highly dissatisfied and disappointed with this product. I wish I would have never spend the $39.95 on this product.

Great concept but you need to add tweaks to it.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2019

The concept is great and I would give it 4-5 stars if powerup upgraded the dihedral. It is so horrible. Since it keeps the wing straight it has a high center of gravity instead of a low or balanced one, so if you try steering, it does a barrel roll on then stalls and crashes. I would recommend straightening a large paper clip and cutting a length of 2.5 in. Then give it a bend at the 1.25 in mark, the middle. Place this dihedral support on the front line on the first tape mark. If it is still not flying correctly then bend it even more. However this will get rid of all the unstability so when you are steering quickly steer right, first steer right and then quickly left for the remainder of the turning period to prevent barrel rolls, vice versa

Great for kids

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

Working with 4th-6th grade kids at a summer camp about flight and aircraft design. The Powerup is our power plant for our paper airplane designs. We are flying in a gym and sometimes run into walls with no noticeable adverse effects on the Powerups. The kids had very little problem getting their kits put together.

One minor difficulty for my setup. All the kids are using my phone (LG V20 Android) to control their planes. Sometimes switching planes is easy, but not always. The problem is that, once you get the app open, it can't seemingly be closed without restarting my phone. The is not a huge problem, but I hope to someday find out if I am doing something wrong.

An excellent product!

The Powerup 3.0 and Powerup Dart are excellent products! I bought both for my grandkids and we are having a lot of fun. It is amazing to see how a paper airplane made of ordinary papers can be flown and controlled from your phone. As an engineer retired from an airplane company located in Seattle, I am very impressed by the ingenuity that went into the design of these products. The customer service is excellent and I wholeheartedly recommend the products.

I bought this for my Nephew's 14th birthday. He is a plane nut. He loves this, he wishes the charge was a little more but he enjoys the fact that he can make different paper plane designs and see how they fly.

Just doesn't work very well. I've tried MANY different body designs (even the included ones), and this plane just won't fly more than a few seconds. The controls work just so-so.

My son and I put this together, downloaded the app and headed out to an open field to give it a go. Well an hour later after many attemps and adjusting many variables, all we could get was nose dives or pathetic crash flights. I don't recommend this, we were both disapointed.

Great imagination & engineering on the Classic Paper Airplane! Be ready! Read the instructions! It's a speedy & responsive flyer! If thumbs cause a crash, not to worry, I just fold another plane! Problems? They have great support & video help! Over time I've been gifted the 3.0 version, helped "Backer" the original Dart and just purchased 3 for gifts and now I'm looking forward to flying my new FPV version! I've been asked at parks "what are you flying?" and I would reply......a paper airplane!

Amazing little toy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this as a small project to build and fly with my 5 year old. It is a pretty amazing piece of kit. The instructional videos are very good and the paper planes are simple to build. You don't need a huge area to fly it but the more the better. Its very light and pretty sturdy so can handle plenty of crash landings its also pretty easy to fly as its slow enough to not get away from you but fast enough to be great fun. It will even take off from a reasonably smooth surface (patio tiles) which my kid absolutely loves. The app is well built and has a one or 2 handed mode which is cool. The interface is also simple enough for a kid to use. All in all very happy with this purchase.

Fantastic customer service and amazing products!!!

I bought this product as a Christmas present and by no fault of the seller it was got damaged in the post. Rather the bitch about it I reached out to them for help and my god what lovely helpful people, they couldn’t of done any more to help me out in time for Christmas. Genuinely the best customer service I’ve ever received. Lesson of the day is rather then publicly attack a seller through a bad review why not just reach out to them and talk to them. They are humans and have hearts too and I’m pretty sure if given half a chance they would be more then happy to help someone that isn’t damaging there name/brand. The product is nicely presented and is very high quality, Excited just wrapping this stuff up for Christmas, my little nephew is going to be over the moon. If you need proof just go on YouTube and watch some of there videos. And they have a cool backstory of how the company started out as just one friend challenging another friend to make a flying paper plane. Worth a watch you’ll be convinced you want one then that’s for sure inner kid goes to lvl 100.

Just plummeted to the floor using the manufacturers own supplied paper. Tried aiming it upwards at full throttle still just nose dives. Made a plane following the world record patter too just to check, flies 30m without the kit attached, 3m if thrown really hard with the kit on...

It's really not that great. Do yourself a favour and just get the drone. I know you don't want to be a drone guy, but honestly, this is just what you fear it is: uncontrollable paper nightmares
