The POWERUP DART is equipped with a high speed motor and propeller and a light weight design, which makes it an over-powered airplane. The thrust to weight ratio, combined with a carefully crafted paper templates and cross carbon spine, enables POWERUP DART to perform high G aerobatic maneuvers, climb vertically and recover from from steep descends.

All rewards are trackable and scheduled for delivery before Christmas world wide. We started production early and secured an experienced fulfillment partner which is planned to ship all rewards out from the USA starting late November. Shipping time in the USA is 3-8 day delivery. Shipping time for International orders is 7-21 days.

The POWERUP DART is controlled by an app on your smartphone. The airplane is connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth. Ascending & descending is achieved by increasing or decreasing the propeller speed, by sliding the throttle on the screen up or down. Steering is done by a rudder, tilting the phone right or left will tilt the rudder and steer the airplane.

iPhone 4S or newer; iPod Touch 5th Gen or newer; iPad 3rd Gen or newer; iPad mini. Android: version 4.3 or higher, with Bluetooth 4.0 enabled devices.

POWERUP DART lets you take a part in the magic of flying, constructing your very own aircraft. A new pilot will need to take some time learning to trim and adjust the paper airplane in order to achieve a balanced airplane and precise control. The app is equipped with optional flight assist control system that restrains the airplane from diving in sharp turns. The more you fly, the better you get. The better you get, the more you enjoy! Flying aerobatics is easy, most of the tricks are done in boost mode which is literally throttle open 100%, looping and barrel rolls are easy and incredibly fun. Taking off with landing gear (only supplied with the Standard kits) is also easy, just throttle up and lift-off.

Taking off with the wheels (supplied only with the Standard kits) require a smooth surface, such as smooth cement or concrete for outdoors locations or parquet floor in a gymnasium or large office space. Take off distance is approximately 12 feet/ 3.5 meters

The POWERUP DART is made of durable material: Carbon fiber rods, Nylon rienforced with glass fiber and Polypropylene plastics and a rubber bumper. It can withstand some impressive crashes. Having said that, no flying machine is unbreakable. Flying on a soft surface will prolong the POWERUP DART life. Spare parts for repair and maintenance are will be available on Backerkit ad-ons and on our website. Paper wing damaged ? just fold a new one.

For the best experience and precise and smooth flight maneuvers it is best to fly on a non-windy day, alternatively a closed space like a gym or atrium is ideal. The fast speed low drag design of the POWERUP DART will allow you to fly also in light winds up to 10 MPH as long as there are no turbulence and gusts.

Yes you can. POWERUP DART is much more fun to fly with friends. Try a dog fight or coordinated aerobatic formation. The Bluetooth signal does not interfere, you can fly as many Darts as you like together.

POWERUP 3.0 is the first generation of smartphone controlled paper airplanes based on the standard A4 8.5"X11" copier paper.
The DART (half the size of the 3.0) takes paper airplane RC flying to the next level by introducing 3D aerobatics. This is achieved thanks to the reduced weight, reduced drag and faster more efficient propeller and motor, now we get 2:1 thrust to weight ration versus 1:1.You can also takeoff and land from the ground thanks to the quick connect landing gear and skid which come only with the Standard kits. If you do have a POWERUP 3.0, the wheels and skid are compatible as well. Currently there is no plan to offer the landing gear a separate kit.

As a platform for innovative projects, Kickstarter is a natural environment for the POWERUP products. It allows us to introduce great ideas to new hobbyists much earlier than traditional marketing, and interact with our user’s community whom are an important part of our development process. In 2014 POWERUP 3.0 was launched on Kickstarter, bringing the idea of paper airplane RC flying to the world. In 2015 POWERUP FPV was launched on Kickstarter, taking paper airplanes to a new technological level with First Person View flying. After learning from our ever growing community, we are excited to introduce POWERUP DART, an aerobatic stunt monster. Enjoy!

No need to register, POWERUP DART weight is less than 0.4 oz/12 grams, the FAA requires registration for drones that weigh 0.5 lb/250 grams or more.

Kickstarter allows you to choose one reward. If you would like to add additional rewards, simply 'up' your pledge. All non-U.S. backers please add the cost for international shipping once for the highest reward only.

The DART does not have a camera, some confuse this product with the POWERUP FPV that does have a wifi streaming camera. If you want to try putting a small camera on the airplane note that the max payload is limited to a few grams and dependent on the wing size and design, we did not try it.
