When you’re young all you want to do is fly a fighter jet. But of course, that is in no way possible. Remote-controlled toy planes are the only way to fulfill that burning desire. But these toys are often expensive and there’s always a high risk that if you crash the plane(which you will), it’ll be toast. But now children might have the ideal remote-controlled toy plane, in the shape of the PowerUp 3.0. (Read More)

Diese Geschichte ist etwas merkwürdig: Mit dem E-Propeller PowerUp wurden Papierflieger 2011 motorisiert und wir fanden es toll. Mit der nächsten Version PowerUp 3.0 gab´s dann noch die Smartphone-Steuerung für den E-Papierflieger und wir fanden es wieder toll, aber jetzt taucht genau dieses Teil bei Kickstarter auf: dort will PowerUp 3.0 bitte sehr 50.000 Dollar um in Produktion gehen zu können. Eine mögliche Erklärung liegt im Design des Teils, das sich seit Jahresbeginn mächtig gewandelt hat, eine andere in möglicher Namensfindungsträgheit bei TailorToys - man weiß es nicht. So oder so: das neue PowerUp 3.0 Set für Papierflieger mit Smartphone-Steuerung soll bei Kickstarter 30 Dollar plus 15 Dollar für den Versand nach Europa kosten. Video nach dem Break. (Read More)
