Back in December of last year Habré to publish news about the project PowerUp 3.0, which allows you to transform any paper airplane in the radio-controlled device, the ability to keep in the air for about 10 minutes (until enough battery power).

The management interface plane was simple enough, the program is not overloaded with details:
