“Every toy loses to the tablet by Tuesday.”
Toys die because they never change. This one changes every time he folds a new sheet: a new wing shape is a new plane, so the novelty doesn't run out on day three.

What paper do I need?
Any standard A4 sheet works; 80–100 gsm printer paper is the sweet spot. Paper isn't included in the box, because you almost certainly have a stack in the house already.
Does it need a phone or an app?
No. PaperAirplane comes with its own two-stick remote — one stick for power, one for steering. There's no app to download and no phone to hand over. Charge the battery with the included USB cable and fly.
Where can we fly it?
Fly in calm weather with plenty of clear space: a park, sports field, schoolyard or suitable gym. Most living rooms are too small. Avoid roads, crowds and obstacles. Each kit has its own remote, so two children can fly together.
What if it breaks, or we don't love it?
Replace a damaged paper airframe with a fresh fold and reuse the flight module. If you are unhappy with your kit for any reason, contact us within 30 days of delivery for help arranging a return and full refund.
How long does shipping take?
Orders to the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada include free standard shipping with no minimum spend. Delivery timing depends on your destination. Contact us for a current delivery estimate or help with your order.
Watch Your Paper Plane Actually Climb
Every kid has thrown a paper plane that nose-dived ten feet later. PaperAirplane changes what happens after the throw. The lightweight power module clips onto the plane he folded himself, twin propellers spin up, and a built-in gyro stabilizer steadies the wobble. Push the power stick and it climbs, steer it into a wide turn over the yard, then bring it down on its own landing gear. Same sheet of paper as always. This time it answers to him.
The Paper Takes the Hit
Most RC toys die on day one because the expensive part is the part that hits the ground: cracked foam, a snapped wing, a spare-parts order that never arrives. PaperAirplane is built the other way around. The airframe is a sheet of paper, so the paper absorbs the crash while the power module, propellers and landing gear are the parts you keep. Crumple one, fold a fresh plane in about a minute, clip the module back on and he's flying again. Honest limit: it's still a paper plane. Fly it on a calm day in open space, because wind will always beat paper.
Hand Him the Remote and Step Back
The 'screen-free' toys that need your phone end the same way: he's staring at a screen again, and you're the one fixing the Bluetooth. PaperAirplane comes with its own two-stick controller, one stick for power and one for steering, laid out the way his hands already know from every game controller. No app to download, no phone to hand over. The next plane is whatever A4 paper is already in your printer. Rated for ages 8 and up, and there's a good chance you'll want a turn.
WHO IT'S FOR
Four people, one kit
Screen-tired parents, gift-hunting grandparents, RC dads and homeschool families buy it for different reasons. It answers all four.
“Whatever I buy gets played with twice.”
Most gifts are finished the day they're opened. A kit built on paper keeps becoming a new toy, and a crash isn't the end of it. He just folds another.
“Cheap drones break ten minutes in.”
Every RC toy he's had broke because the expensive part was the part that hit the ground. Here the paper takes the crash; the module, props and remote are the parts you keep.
“Every kit we buy is one and done.”
One module, unlimited airframes. Change one fold, fly it, compare. The variable is the fold, and every new test costs a sheet of paper.

One module, one remote, and whatever paper is already in your printer.

SEE IT FLY
HOW IT WORKS
Fold. Clip. Fly.
Every RC toy puts the expensive part where the crash happens. PaperAirplane moves it out of the way.
Step 1 — Fold the airframe
Any A4 sheet, 80–100 gsm is ideal. Fold a classic dart, a wide glider, or a shape he invents. The airframe is the part meant to take the hit, and it costs one sheet of paper.
Step 2 — Clip on the power module
A lightweight black frame carries twin propellers on side outriggers and a gyro stabilizer that steadies the wobble. It clips and tapes onto the folded plane following the manual; add the landing gear for wheels.
Step 3 — Fly it on real sticks
The remote splits the job the way his hands expect: one stick for power, one for steering. Crash, fold a new plane in about a minute, clip the module back on, and go again.
Paper not included. Fly on calm days in open space; wind beats paper.
YOUR FIRST AFTERNOON
From box to backyard
What setting it up looks like, start to finish.
Step 1
Charge it
The rechargeable battery charges with the included USB cable. Fold your first plane while you wait.
Step 2
Fold and clip
Fold a plane from any A4 sheet and clip the power module on following the manual. Add the landing gear if you want wheeled take-offs.
Step 3
First flights
Find open space on a calm day and start with gentle power. The first few flights are for getting a feel for the throttle.
Step 4
Crash, refold, repeat
When it nose-dives, and it will, pull the module off, fold a fresh plane in about a minute, and he is back in the air.

ANY LAST QUESTIONS?
The things people ask before they order
What paper do I need?
Any standard A4 sheet works; 80–100 gsm printer paper is the sweet spot. Paper isn't included in the box, because you almost certainly have a stack in the house already.
Does it need a phone or an app?
No. PaperAirplane comes with its own two-stick remote — one stick for power, one for steering. There's no app to download and no phone to hand over. Charge the battery with the included USB cable and fly.
Does it really fly, or just glide?
The twin motors provide powered flight, while the gyro helps stabilize the aircraft. Adjust the throttle to climb and use the steering stick to turn. Choose calm weather and a clear flying area.
How hard is it to set up and fly?
Charge the battery with the included USB cable, fold your paper plane, and attach the module following the manual. Start with gentle throttle and give yourself a few practice flights. The kit is for ages 8 and up; younger children should have adult help.
Where can we fly it?
Fly in calm weather with plenty of clear space: a park, sports field, schoolyard or suitable gym. Most living rooms are too small. Avoid roads, crowds and obstacles. Each kit has its own remote, so two children can fly together.
