Description

POWERUP 4.0 is the smartest, most intuitive paper plane kit we’ve ever made. It makes it possible to fly with ease and smoothness in a variety of conditions.

Say goodbye to nosedives and choppy flights. We’ve added a new on-board flight computer and 2 new sensors: gyro and accelerometer, combined with 2 thrust vectoring motors. That means flying POWERUP 4.0 is smoother than ever, and can now do all this:

That’s right. POWERUP 4.0 can auto-loop. So you can master tricks and awesome aerobatics by simply pressing a button.

We’ve added 2 high speed motors to POWERUP 4.0. That means you’ve got double the thrust, additional maneuvering possibilities, and sharper turns.

And together with the flight assist, you can fly just about anything

Now you can learn to fly like a pro. We’re showing you real-time analytics including heading direction, thrust level and turning angles.

We’ve made it a lot easier and way cooler to fly POWERUP 4.0 at night. Optional LED lights will enable you to light up the night - making for awesome visuals and round-the-clock fun.

2 rear wheels and 1 front wheel give your paper plane more style and make for easier takeoff and landing. They also make it possible to launch off of a surface rather than hand-launching.

We partnered with the best RC hobby vloggers on the planet – FliteTest! They have put together their incredibly creative minds to develop a foam jet inspired by the F22 for the 4.0. It is made from a special laser cut foam board they created and make in the USA.

Intuitive control makes it easy to fly. Simply tilt your phone in the direction you want your plane to fly. It’s really that easy.

POWERUP is an incredibly helpful tool when it comes to teaching and learning aeronautics. Students can test multiple designs, analyze their work and improve their planes. Through trial and error, they can understand what makes their plane fly smoother, longer and farther- key lessons in airplane design.

What’s New

Good customer service

UPDATE: Customer service has been responsive and they are sending me a new powerup free of charge. Updating to 4 stars.

Previous review:
After downloading latest firmware 1.16.2 the plane will not connect to my iPhone. Very disappointing Christmas present for my son. If I find a fix or customer service gets back to me, I will update my rating. I expect it to be a lot of fun if we get it to work. I followed all of the online “first time connecting” instructions exactly with no success. Hoping there is a quick and easy solution.

More info

This thing is great! But the one problem I have is that the instructions don’t show how to replace a propeller. Now I’m stuck with a hairy plane! If you put how to change a propeller in the instructions I will give freely 5 stars, but until then, this is my review. Other than that, everything is great! Highly recommend.

Probably my greatest rc purchase of all time

I have had a power up 4.0 for about 4 years now and it has seen a lot. This plane has flown like 500 feet in the air and lost connection due to high winds, sent into around 10 different power lines, stuck in trees for weeks with rain, and stepped on by a 9 year old. This plane still flies great but I have had to glue the seam in the frame once and replace the foam nose.
