RC paper airplane PowerUP 3.0: reviews first pilots

Habré has recently published a review of radio-controlled paper airplane PowerUP 3.0 (or rather, a set of components that allow you to turn the paper rc airplane in, the airplane is able to hold in the air for about 10 minutes). PowerUp 3.0 liked a lot because of the originality of his ideas. And it is not a concept, but a very real project, the author has already shipped the first batch of PowerUP 3.0, and which came first to the owners, and they were many.



In general, the plane was already enough of many, accordingly, began to receive comments, suggestions and comments about the strengths and weaknesses of the system. I think we should all set out in a new short review because the current owners will experience no problems working with PowerUP 3.0 new owners. The nuances of the many, often touching the paper, part - management application Airplane, still part - wireless modules.

new post can be considered a supplement to the official instructions, and this addition is written by a community of users PowerUP 3.0. Information Crowdfunding, otherwise you will not name.

As stated above, all new materials are divided into categories:

• The paper airplane design;
• Battery and energy;
• Wireless modules;
• application for smartphones. ul >
  Paper airplane design
  
  Apparently, the airplane established on the basis of free template Nakamuru flies better than the one that comes in the kit.
  
  This may seem obvious, but, as it turned out, not always PowerUP 3.0 users understand that how accurately folded paper airplane, and it depends on the aerodynamic characteristics. As a child, crooked folded airplane and flew the nose down. The paper should be flat, the design must be symmetrical.
  
  How would you not folded airplane, each new will differ somewhat from the previous one. Some will endure right some - to the left, the third will fly perfectly. There are tips perforated paper punch in key places - as far as can be judged, improves flight characteristics.
  
  If the paper is wrinkled in the process of operation, the airplane is not flying as good as in the beginning. In addition, it is desirable to use the paper tightly, though ordinary office paper is quite suitable. In this airplane stand about a half hour flight, after which (in view of the falls, the deformation of paper) is necessary to add new one.
  
  It is necessary to do a bit more soft folds at the forefront of the wing, the wing will be tougher and will better withstand flights. In addition, after the final border, when it was time to fold the wings, flip the center crease. Now, additional layers of the paper will be at the lower front edge of the wing, and not on the top. Then fold the wings and wing tips, as described in the instructions.
  
  Battery and power
  
  Battery lasts for a large number of short flights, despite the stated time of 10 minutes continuous operation. In addition, the good news is that the charging airplane takes only about 20 minutes - you can purchase an external power supply, and a whole day to play.
  
  On / off button is not the most comfortable - press on it hard, because of the small size of the buttons.
  
  In the fall and bounce on the ground airplane turned off, so you need to include it again. Many people immediately think that airplane crashes, in fact - is "a feature, not a bug."
  
  Among other things, when you charge it is necessary to include airplane.
  
  
  
  WiFi and Bluetooth
  
  Airplane is operated with an application for a smartphone over Bluetooth, but some owners say that airplane works better if you turn off WiFi, leaving only Bluetooth. C What is the reason - is unknown.
  
  It is best to go for the airplane in the management process, so you can control the device for a longer time before it leaves the range of the wireless signal. Well, the approximate radius - 30 meters, although stated about 55. However, with the removal of the worst airplane begins to respond to management.
  
  Appendix
  
  
  
  Soon will come the updated application that enables you to control two airplanes obnovremenno arranging competition between individual "aircraft".
  
  Sometimes the app crashes, though not all.
  
  Well, finally, without exception, owners of airplanes note that if you start them in a crowded place, the operator immediately stanvoitsya center of attention for everyone. Both children and adults are surrounded by "pilot", and asked to steer. So get ready to feel like a star.
