Twenty seconds may not sound impressive, but we promise, when you experience your first 20+ second flight, you will be amazed and elated at how long it feels. In our testing, we had many flights over 20 seconds. If you pick a good paper airplane design, and adjust it properly for level flight then this is definitely possible. The PowerUp 2.0 packaging claims that you can get 30 seconds of flight time (this just happens to be a hair over the World Record for UNpowered flight). You can use a piece of tape on the middle of the stick if you want it to be more secure. These prongs slide onto the front of your airplane and clip it on. ![]() This is how you attach it to your paper airplane. Underneath the capacitor, at the front of the PowerUp device, you will find two prongs. If you want to make it stop early, you can use the special "stop" connector on the charging pack to short out the capacitor and immediately drain all the left over electricity. The propeller will slowly wind down over several minutes (we timed ours at 6 mins, 23 seconds), although it's going very slowly towards the end. The propeller will continue to spin and provide usable thrust for 30-40 seconds. It only takes 10-20 seconds to get a full charge and then you can remove the charger. The propeller will immediately start spinning and the capacitor will begin charging. You charge the airplane by inserting the metal prongs labeled "start" into the nose of the PowerUP device. ![]() ![]() Also included with the kit is a charging pack that takes regular AA batteries.
