POWERUP 2.0 Paper Airplane Conversion Kit | Electric Motor for DIY Paper Planes | Fly Longer and Farther | Perfect for Kids & Adults | Ready to Use Aeroplane Engine Kits

Buy it! Seriously, just buy it. If you are reading this you are thinking about it so just go ahead and don it. ZERO regrets. This thing is amazing. I am truly impressed. Our son (age 8) likes to fly styrofoam airplanes outside. I came across this while Christmas shopping and went for it. Being mostly paper we didn't expect much, figured it would go farther but nothing like this thing. First flight was poorly aimed and went straight to the roof. I although for sure it was a goner but this thing flew over the house, back around to the side our son was on then some before crash landing. It wasn't a fluke either, this thing moves. Despite being paper, it survived numerous crash landings before finally decided to move onto the second sheet of paper. Super fun, we even bought a second one for our other son!

This thing has taken paper airplanes to a whole new level! Must get for plane enthusiasts. Such an incredible toy for all ages! Easy to set up and use. Make sure you read all the instructions first. The elevators made all the difference to keep the plane in the air for minutes!! Sorry for the language in the video but we were so amazed by this thing.

We're on our second one of these. The first one, on the first time trying to put it on an airplane, one of the retaining clips snapped. Luckily, we were able to get it replaced next-day -- thanks, Amazon! After that -- IF you watch the tutorial video online -- this is a ton of fun. The most important thing to know is that you're going to need to trim-up your paper airplane. You want a design and trim that basically flies straight up without the PowerUp on it -- then when you put the PowerUp on it, it'll fly great. We've had it going all around our front yard. The charger is very easy to use, even for younger kids, and they love it. Hope the clip doesn't break again!

Does not work well at all. Not worth the money

Didn't work for us, might be user error but might not.

I teach high school aviation courses and just got these to include in the curriculum. It is a nice addition when talking about control surfaces and their impacts on flight. As the battery starts to drain, the airplane will stall, dive, and recover which leads to another discussion. I got the basic 2.0 kit. It came with a paper template for one model and then it had links to other models in the included paperwork. The students enjoyed comparing the performance of the models and troubleshooting each model when it didn't behave as desired. I will say that you should not be surprised when some struggle with the initial airplane folding. Even with video instructions, I had several get a bit frustrated with the folding. I do not see this as a bad thing. I want them to have the experience of following instructions and building something. If it leads to them having to learn to deal with productive struggle, even better. This is something that is missing in their lives as they do more and more in the virtual world. If you have students that you know will struggle with the folding for whatever reasons, the models do vary in difficulty so you can guide them to an appropriate plane. I used them for 2 sections for 3 periods. The battery packs are still performing well and all propellers are intact. I did have a student snap a stabilizer bar, but it is not crucial. There is a spare parts kit offered on their site that I will be getting in the future but had the student experiment with using a larger paperclip for the repair this time. In closing, I absolutely recommend these for class. I look forward to seeing what else we can bring out of their use of them. (The video is only 5 seconds of the 25-second flight.)

Kiddo loved it

We had a chance to play with this toy for about 10 minutes before it died. Our paper airplane landed on the ground on about the 6th throw and the motor stopped completely. Now the unit is dead and does nothing but get warm when trying to charge it up. Being that our son is a huge fan of paper airplanes, he was so excited about this conversion kit. I think this product has a lot of potential, but it needs to be WAY more durable.

Es una pasada, a mi hijo le encanta. Buena idea aunque hay que leerse muy bien las instrucciones antes. Muy divertido

Kam als Geschenk gut an und hat alles wichtige dabei. Qualität und Haltbarkeit kann ich allerdings nicht bewerten.

リポ電池使用の小型飛行機も安く売られていますが、翌面積不足の上モーター音がうるさ過ぎます。 その点この商品を小型グライダーに載せると手頃な飛行機になります。 折り紙飛行機ではなく、もう少し大きく丈夫な構造の立体凧がお勧めです。重心位置合わせを丁寧に行うのがポイントですね。

I have the power 4.0, this 2.0 is great for young children without mobile phone and yet able to have great fun building different paper planes and have powered flight on them. Thanks!

We had so much fun! Highly recommend! Flies really good and people even stoped watching us playing!
