With the intention of making things interesting, TailorToys have announced their updated PowerUp 3.0 Electric Paper Airplane Conversion Kit which includes a paper plane which flies on its own power. There were previous versions too, but version 3.0 lets you take control of the plane using a smartphone. All your smartphone needs to support is Bluetooth 4.0.
The company has planned the shipping of the kit in August 2013. They also made an announcement about a similar PowerUp Boat Kit, where a paper boat uses its own power. Its shipping would be done around July 2013. TailorToys kept the pricing of both the kits undisclosed.
