    • Best $60 toy purchase I've made

Words fall short to describe how much I love this product. I bought this for my 7yo son with the goal of having him experiment and explore the science of flight and boy does this product help! The origami paper planes sent as part of the package fly great but my son has taken to trying the powerup on anything flat and light he can find at home : Cardboards, styrofoam, plastic and even a sheet of paper. Obviously not all of them fly but the process of building a new wing design and immediately being able to evaluate it is extremely effective in letting his imagination fly and creativity soar. Durability and engineering: This product is engineered extremely well. We have crashed it easily more than a 100 times since we bought it 2 months ago, got it caught up in trees, roofs and rolled a skateboard over it on accident (we got lucky, don't do this!) and it still works as expected. My son accidentally pulled off the antenna but I was able to find instructions on the website to solder it back on. The product states that it is waterproof and I recommend you keep it away from the water. However, I can offer (atleast) one data point on its resilience to water damage. We had it stuck on the roof and it rained right after for 2 days straight. We thought it would be a complete loss. After the rain, we took it and kept it in front of a space heater overnight and were surprised to see it powered right up the day after. Obviously don't go around drenching it in water but if you do, let it dry out completely before turning it back on. Overall, as a dad to 2 young kids with an ever growing pile of old toys (our toy graveyard is massive), the powerup 4.0 offers an excellent science driven, super engaging outdoor activity. ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I won't think twice before ordering another one when/ if this ever stops working or we lose it. ... show more

    • Impressive - keeps my 10yr old kid intrigued and engaged!
Edition: POWERUP 4.0
Purchased this in July - there was an initial learning curve especially with turns and acceleration. Once you practice with few test flights you get a hang of it. My kid has tried 3 of the built in designs and it works great. I also like their tech support and customer service approach, I had few questions and concerns, these were promptly answered by their team. This is an excellent STEM toy, to teach kids aerodynamics, ailerons etc. Its a good stepping stone before progressing to RC airplanes if you are interested in that space. Pros. Excellent design and aerodynamics instant setup and pairing on app Decent flying time Keeps score of flight data Cons. if using indoors would suggest carpeted area learning curve - though not difficult will need effort don't miss the carbon rod stabilizer ... show more

    • Creative plane idea
Edition: POWERUP 4.0
My grandson (14) loves this plane with a motor . It is very light weight plane and can be flown indoors or outdoors. The paper wings are pretty and interesting. I wish there were more wing papers with the kit.

Purchased to use a a fun learning tool with my kids, as well as fun for me (wink). My Experience: My son and I had already attempted to create some prop powered paper planes with rubber bands, and though they were good fun together and great learning, they didn't quite give the result I wanted. This product was exactly what I needed to continue that lesson and draw my kids in. They loved chasing it around and bringing it back when I crashed. My oldest (3 years) got to try and launch the plane. I am excited to try and build different planes with him and him to be able to watch something he created take flight. The product: The controls took a minute to understand, a bit more clarification on how the controls work would be great. It took a minute to figure out that the phone gyro was controlling left and right, and the slide was only throttle. Once I figured that out I was able to fly pretty well continuously, Even got it to do a sort of loop at one point. The controls are very simple and easy, had no problems flying at all after I understood them. Battery life: It's advertised at 10 min, I felt like I got closer to 15 but wasn't running full throttle hardly at all. Negative: I would like an auto flight mode, something like it just Flys in a set pattern (ie. Circle, figure 8, etc) that probably requires more sensors that are not on board, but would be nice in a future product. Conclusion: Solid product, I would purchase again and recommend to others. I plane to purchase some of the wood/foam kits once I get more confident in my flight abilities. Response: I read a lot of negative reviews, a lot talking of easy breakage, most of them sound like user error. The product is solid, and doesn't seem to break easily with controlled use, but as with any product with small parts you can't expect to slam it into the ground and it survive unscathed. ... show more
