Guy's I am not interested in making anything else using the PowerUp to drive it. I have had enough suggestions, thank you very much. Anything that I have already made with a fan or propeller will probably work using a PowerUp as long as it is light enough, I don't really seen any benefit in sticking a PowerUp on them to prove the point. Let's be clear, I am bored with the PowerUp and I am bored with going through my old projects and sticking a PowerUp on them. I have already made plenty of fan powered boats and cars and made them using much cheaper options than a PowerUp. You will see later tonight I have made a few more videos but let's be blunt, once you have seen how a fan car or boat works it does not need an Einstein to stick a PowerUp on it and my subscribers will soon become bored watching the same designs being recycled with the only difference being I am using an expensive PowerUp instead of a cheap bargain store hand held fan that cost a fraction of the price and does the same job. I really wasn't going to do it as I thought it was too similar to the other fan cars I have made, but using the candle made me think it was different enough to try it. There are technical challenges in using the candle as it does not have much strength and can crack easily. Melting a hole for the axle was not as simple as you might think. I have grouped this series into it's own playlist so you can find the previous episodes easily https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB30sLbx339Y5Z3s47r_TpIo This was the eBay listing I used for the PowerUp http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371149623947 Here is the genuine PowerUp site http://www.poweruptoys.com/ For those interested in an alternative I like this video of the HM830 by Michael Steele Trying out the RC Paper Airplane - HM830 https://youtu.be/zKorOg9Exy0 Filmed using FujiFilm FinePix S4800 Edited using Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition I will add this new video to my Fan Cars & Boats playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB2BNUWVU5G6qQld3G1W604W YouTube prevents me from answering people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason. It is probably worth reading my video description first because the answer may already be there.

To find them follow my YouTube search guide https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or see my playlists https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
