 Sometimes we get so focused on the most extreme computers on the planet around here like the upcoming part two of our oil Submerged cool PC build log thing that will be showing off make sure you're subscribed for that But I think we forget that some of the most interesting computers today don't have processors made by Intel or AMD Aren't powerful enough to solve the economic crisis and don't require as much power to run as a clothes dryer today's Computer by contrast with the oil cool thing is this tiny Battery powered affair that may not be able to tackle global issues But it can let you fly a paper airplane around with your smartphone, which is also pretty cool The cooler master neptune 240m features an exclusive pump design and their new Silencio fans to provide impressive near-silent performance click now to learn more The unboxing experience was actually pretty fun because you get a whack ton of stuff Taylor toys includes the wireless strap-on motor module itself a micro USB cable and 1000 milliamp hour battery bank for folding templates although you can print your own later one water resistant Tyvek Da Vinci style Template for the Nakamura model plane spares for the propeller and rudder and finally the user manual something you will need The module itself might not really look like anything special But there's actually a ton of technology inside at the rear is a propeller on a variable speed motor and a rudder that you'll control Later by tilting your phone left and right Following the lightweight carbon fiber stem towards the front will find the processor battery 55 meter range Bluetooth module with antenna power switch and micro USB charging port that are all protected by a sweet Transparent housing that clips onto the front of the plane nice and tight like so and features a soft foam nose to protect it during crashes Now setup might be a little bit intimidating for some people when they see the 48 page one language Yeah, it's all one language user manual But since the battery takes 20 minutes to fill anyway throw it on the charger and then spend half an hour reading the documentation once Folding two templates for the beginner invader plane and the more advanced Nakamura Install the app on your phone watch a couple of their tutorial videos some of which are great and some of which are surprisingly unprofessional like the one where the host sneezes in the middle of Folding the plane and they don't even bother to cut it out And then you will be ready to head to the park and give it a whirl I'd recommend bringing the manual with you for your first few flights because there are some details Particularly with respect to the initial fine tuning of your paper airplane that you might want to refer back to but The gist is you do a test flight with the motor off make sure it goes straight Another test flight with the motor on at around 60% more if it's a windy day Although I'd recommend going out on a day that has as little wind as possible And then as long as both of those are satisfactory Factory straight flights, then you're ready to rock and let me tell you this thing kind of well rocks Even though it was windier out than I would have liked which made gaining altitude kind of tough for us both my cameraman And I this was our new guy Burkle shooting this by the way had a total blast flying this thing around in the first few test flights that we did we weren't able to achieve the level of performance that the manufacturer shows off in their promotional video, but even as an inexperienced you know aircraft builder and pilot I was able to have a ton of fun and the more success we had the more Improvements we made the more I wanted to keep trying so that I could get that level of performance out of it because I think It's very doable you just I Think the key to having a great experience with this toy is just experimentation if you just want instant success out of the box And you don't feel like working on your plane between crashes to get solid performance out of it then this product might not be for you But if you're a tinkerer by nature, and you're looking for something You know interactive and engaging to do you know I don't know by yourself or with your kids or even with your buddies It's worth every penny. You'll have a blast back to boring review stuff again I guess ranges as advertised so is battery life and the Android and Ios apps both worked great for us with an Xperia Z2 And iPhone 6 although guys double check your phone for compatibility because it does use Bluetooth smart or whatever So you have to have a newer Bluetooth chipset on your phone But overall I think Taylor toys did a great job of delivering what they said they would I do still think there are some Things that could improve though I mean I would love to see a beefed up version with a more powerful motor and or a bigger battery for longer flights I mean, I hope they continue to invest r&d resources into this idea because I think it's really cool But I also think the out-of-the-box experience could be a bit better the manual is excellent But their site navigation is poor and so is the organization of their tutorial videos on their YouTube channel Which made things a little bit more difficult for me as a novice user than they needed to be I mean Here's a here's a couple of examples They don't have any letter size templates for letter size plane designs even though they refer to them and say you can build them So if you're in one of those backward countries that doesn't normally use a4 printer paper Then you'll have to go obtain some somewhere There's also the completely unnecessary add a zero dollar template download thing to your shopping cart And then check out on their site in order to even fold more planes on your own and get the templates So that that was kind of annoying, but I mean I guess there is good news They do have these cool Tyvek Da Vinci templates I grabbed a 10 pack of them when I backed the Kickstarter so it's not all bad and really these are all minor complaints I think overall the conclusion should be this the power up 3.0 is a great gift idea for a son nephew coworker uncle or female version of any of the above who loves little electronic gadgets and paper airplanes By the way guys speaking of electronic gadgets.
