Odds are you have a soft spot for paper airplanes – they’re a quick, simple, and undeniably fun solution to boredom that probably got you sent to the principal’s office more than once. If any of that sounds familiar, you need to check out the PowerUp X FPV Video Paper Airplane Kit, which, without hyperbole, is the coolest paper airplane ever created. 

It’s so cool, in fact, that it raised over $490,000 on Kickstarter. Once you take a look at it, you’ll immediately understand why.

Check it out:

The PowerUp X FPV, powered by Parrot, is like a paper airplane and a drone had a baby. It comes complete with propellers and a wide-angle camera, allowing you to record awesome footage as it zips through the air at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.

You can control it easily via a smartphone app, as well as watch a live stream of the footage it captures as you send it zooming around your neighborhood. It also has auto-navigate and stabilization tools built-in, so even if you’ve never driven an RC car before, you’ll be able to send your futuristic paper airplane blazing across the sky in no time. The PowerUp X FPV is nothing less than pure, accessible fun.

Normally, the PowerUp X FPV sells for $139.99, but right now you can get one at 25% off for just $104.99. Mashable readers can take an addition 15% off for Labor Day by entering the coupon code LABORDAY15.
