![]() ![]() The app also shows the battery level inside the airplane, so you'll know how much play time you have left. The app will give you audio feedback, and will call out when you have reached certain milestones, like crossing the 1 minute flight time threshold. There is very little learning curve and you can easily control your paper airplane one handed without looking at the screen. The app (pictured here) allows you to easily control the thrust by moving your finger up and down and steer by tilting the phone left and right. The smart control module has internal sensors that it uses to automatically stabilize the flight of your paper airplane, so a stray gust of wind wont toss it off course. See below for some suggestions of good paper airplane designs to try and some tips and tricks for getting the most out of your PowerUp 2.0 flights. Twenty seconds may not sound impressive, but we promise, when you experience your first 20+ second flight, you will be amazed and elated at how long it feels. In our testing, we had many flights over 20 seconds. If you pick a good paper airplane design, and adjust it properly for level flight then this is definitely possible. The PowerUp 2.0 packaging claims that you can get 30 seconds of flight time (this just happens to be a hair over the World Record for UNpowered flight). You can use a piece of tape on the middle of the stick if you want it to be more secure. These prongs slide onto the front of your airplane and clip it on. This is how you attach it to your paper airplane. Underneath the capacitor, at the front of the PowerUp device, you will find two prongs. If you want to make it stop early, you can use the special "stop" connector on the charging pack to short out the capacitor and immediately drain all the left over electricity. The propeller will slowly wind down over several minutes (we timed ours at 6 mins, 23 seconds), although it's going very slowly towards the end. The propeller will continue to spin and provide usable thrust for 30-40 seconds. ![]() It only takes 10-20 seconds to get a full charge and then you can remove the charger. The propeller will immediately start spinning and the capacitor will begin charging. You charge the airplane by inserting the metal prongs labeled "start" into the nose of the PowerUP device. Also included with the kit is a charging pack that takes regular AA batteries. ![]()
