Parse RC paper airplane PowerUP 3.0 for parts
Probably many have heard or even played since PowerUp 3.0 - set, allows you to turn almost any paper airplane (we all did such a child) in a controlled phone gadget.
The author of the project is a pilot with 25 years of experience, who managed to gather a team of experts, and then get on Kickstarter a million dollars instead of the requested 50 thousand. Browse this kit published yet Habré , here and published material with comments and advice of those who have tested the device in . Today I want to show that there had airplane inside - or rather, what constitutes an electronic "filling" (careful, a lot of photos).
The only thing to remember from the previous materials, it is a way to bring the device into an operational view. It's simple:
1. Make a Paper Airplane (author of the project included with the kit even instructions on how to fold different airplanes);
2. Attach the module with special clamps to the axis of the aircraft;
3. Install and run a special application for smartphone (free);
4. Launch a paper airplane hand and begin to control your fighter / attack aircraft, by simply tilting the smartphone.
Well, now - Unboxing and demolition, an electronics with comments.
As such, the airplane arrived at the office i>

Well, assembled airplane logo Medgadgets, where do without it:) i>

Actually, that's all the demolition, as we see, in not so many things. Assembled control module and the whole set as a whole is well. Nothing is loose, do not fall off. By experience, the control module withstands well ooooochen lot of punches on the ground. So far, the experimental airplane that has passed through the hands of many people who want to play with him, not broken. This is good :)
This is how it works i>
A little drawings i>
Manage produced from a smartphone, for a normal run, you must work out i>
Power Up 3.0 captures a long time, and it is clear why - because here the combination of childhood, ever airplanes that allowed all of us, and the most advanced technology, albeit not the most difficult. Yes, and the smartphone is involved. In general, what the doctor ordered for entertainment before the office or in the park with the kids (it is possible with older children, they like more).
Author already produces kits and radio-controlled to create a paper boat, as well as different patterns of aircraft. In principle, the templates are not needed, it works, if you make an ordinary airplane of the most common heavy paper.
