"And now the PowerUp FPV,
a $200 drone, enters the pantheon of paper airplanes. This one comes
with eight high-quality pieces of black, German-made origami paper, a
twin prop that slides over the creases, and a camera mounted module over
the top that sends a live video feed to your phone, and records it on a
micro SD Card.
The plane can be launched via a 'throw to fly'
mode, where you launch it like a standard paper airplane. That forward
motion kicks the motors on—or, well, it should, I could never get this
to work right, but my son had no problem. A more consistent takeoff
maneuver is to throttle up the propellers first, give it a gentle toss,
and away it goes. "
This is one of the most inventive drones I've seen. You can attach the motor/camera section to any plane design you want. pretty cool.
