If we told you that a paper airplane is one of the most fun toys you can play with, you would probably look at us like we were crazy. Well guess what, it really is. Not just any paper airplane, of course, but a specific paper airplane that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. The PowerUp 3.0 Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane takes the old-timey favorite and propels it into the twenty-first century (pun intended, sadly). Seriously, you’ve got to check out this crazy contraption.
