WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.600 Sometimes we get so focused on the most extreme computers on the planet around 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:12.880 here, like the upcoming part two of our oil submerged cool PC build log thing 00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:16.240 that we'll be showing off. Make sure you you're subscribed for that. That I think 00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:22.000 we forget that some of the most interesting computers today don't have 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:24.160 processors made by Intel or AMD, aren't 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:29.400 powerful enough to solve the economic crisis, and don't require as much power 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:34.960 to run as a closed dryer. Today's computer, by contrast with the oil cool 00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:41.120 thing, is this tiny battery powered affair that may not be able to tackle 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:43.040 global issues, but it can let you fly a 00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:47.480 paper airplane around with your smartphone, which is also pretty cool. 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:59.760 The Cooler Master Neptune 240M features an exclusive pump design and their new 00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:04.960 Sencio fans to provide impressive near silent performance. Click now to learn 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:09.040 more. The unboxing experience was actually pretty fun because you get a 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:15.360 whack ton of stuff. Taylor Toys includes the wireless strap-on motor module 00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:17.920 itself, a micro USB cable and 1,000 mAh 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:22.960 battery bank. four folding templates, although you can print your own later. 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.520 One waterresistant Tyvec Da Vinci style 00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:29.840 template for the Nakamura model plane, spares for the propeller and rudder, and 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:34.479 finally the user manual, something you will need. The module itself might not 00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:38.320 really look like anything special, but there's actually a ton of technology 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:42.079 inside. At the rear is a propeller on a variable speed motor and a rudder that 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.000 you'll control later by tilting your phone left and right. Following the 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.640 lightweight carbon fiber stem towards the front, we'll find the processor, 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:55.200 battery, 55 m range Bluetooth module with antenna, power switch, and micro 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.680 USB charging port that are all protected by a sweet transparent housing that 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.960 clips onto the front of the plane nice and tight like so, and features a soft 00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:08.319 foam nose to protect it during crashes. Now, setup might be a little bit 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:14.160 intimidating for some people when they see the 48page one language. Yeah, it's 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.920 all one language user manual, but since the battery takes 20 minutes to fill 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.239 anyway, throw it on the charger, and then spend half an hour reading the 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:27.120 documentation once, folding two templates for the beginner invader plane 00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:30.400 and the more advanced Nakamura. Install the app on your phone. Watch a couple of 00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:33.760 their tutorial videos, some of which are great and some of which are surprisingly 00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:37.040 unprofessional, like the one where the host sneezes in the middle of folding 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:41.599 the plane and they don't even bother to cut it out. And then you will be ready 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.200 to head to the park and give it a whirl. I'd recommend bringing the manual with 00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:50.000 you for your first few flights because there are some details, particularly 00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:54.560 with respect to the initial fine tuning of your paper airplane, that you might 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.480 want to refer back to. But the gist is you do a test flight with the motor off. 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:03.280 Make sure it goes straight. Another test flight with the motor on at around 60% 00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:06.879 more if it's a windy day. Although I'd recommend going out on a day that has as 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.800 little wind as possible. And then as long as both of those are satisfactory, 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.760 straight flights, then you're ready to rock. And let me tell you, this thing 00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:19.519 kind of well rocks. Even though it was windier out than I would have liked, 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:24.239 which made gaining altitude kind of tough for us. Both my cameraman and I, 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:29.040 uh, this was our new guy, Burkel, shooting this, by the way, had a total 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.360 blast flying this thing around. In the first few test flights that we did, we 00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:37.840 weren't able to achieve the level of performance that the manufacturer shows 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:43.200 off in their promotional video. But even as an inexperienced, you know, aircraft 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:48.000 builder and pilot, I was able to have a ton of fun. And the more success we had, 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:52.480 the more improvements we made, the more I wanted to keep trying so that I could 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:56.720 get that level of performance out of it because I think it's very doable. You 00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:00.400 just I I think the key to having a great experience with this toy is just 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:03.840 experimentation. If you just want instant success out of the box and you 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.400 don't feel like working on your plane between crashes to get solid performance 00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:12.239 out of it, then this product might not be for you. But if you're a tinkerer by 00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:16.000 nature and you're looking for something, you know, interactive and engaging to 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.519 do, you know, I don't know, by yourself or with your kids or even with your 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:23.360 buddies, it's worth every penny. You'll have a blast. Um, back to boring review 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:28.080 stuff again. I guess range is as advertised. So is battery life. And the 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:32.880 Android and iOS apps both worked great for us with an Xperia Z2 and iPhone 6. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.720 Although, guys, double check your phone for compatibility because it does use 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:40.320 Bluetooth smart or whatever. So, you have to have a newer Bluetooth chipset 00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:44.160 on your phone. Um, but overall, I think Taylor Toys did a great job of 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:46.639 delivering what they said they would. I do still think there are some things 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.840 they could improve, though. I mean, I would love to see a beefed up version with a more powerful motor and or a 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:55.520 bigger battery for longer flights. I mean, I hope they continue to invest R&D 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.840 resources into this idea cuz I think it's really cool. Um, but I also think 00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:04.479 the out ofthe-box experience could be a bit better. The manual is excellent, but 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.520 their site navigation is poor and so is the organization of their tutorial 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.600 videos on their YouTube channel, which made things a little bit more difficult 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:15.360 for me as a novice user than they needed to be. I mean, here's a here's a couple 00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:19.199 of examples. They don't have any letter size templates for letteriz plane 00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:23.840 designs, even though they refer to them and say you can build them. So, if you're in one of those backward 00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:28.000 countries that doesn't normally use A4 printer paper, then you'll have to go 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:34.160 obtain some somewhere. Um, there's also the completely unnecessary add a $0 00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:38.960 template download thing to your shopping cart and then check out on their site in 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:43.199 order to even fold more planes on your own and get the templates. Um, so that 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.560 that was kind of annoying, but I mean I guess there there is good news. They do 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:50.720 have these cool Tyvec Da Vinci templates. Um, I grabbed a 10 pack of 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.400 them when I backed the Kickstarter, so it's not all bad. And really, these are 00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:59.199 all minor complaints. I think overall the conclusion should be this. The 00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:04.400 PowerUp 3.0 know is a great gift idea 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:06.720 for a son, nephew, co-orker, uncle, or 00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:10.680 female version of any of the above who loves little electronic gadgets and 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:16.880 paper airplanes. By the way, guys, speaking of 00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:18.639 electronic gadgets, I'm back now. We've 00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:26.000 partnered with Anttech to bring you guys an awesome giveaway.
