Most of our orders are from repeat customers. Parts-People began as a small company 20 years ago in an extra bedroom of my house. I had saved a small sum of money to purchase some computer parts and began selling them on eBay. After a few months I realized that people needed a place to go for Dell parts so I began building our website. Since we are located in Austin, Texas, where Dell.com was founded, I was able to set up a solid supply line with Dell. From the start, we focused on customer satisfaction and selling quality parts. We have grown a lot since 2002 but still and always the customer will come first. You will find that we go above and beyond with every order and offer free resources and support before and after the sale.

I grew up poor. Maybe not third world poor, but definitely “spent a few years in a mobile home/all of my clothes are from Wal-Mart” poor. The beauty in this is the appreciation that you end up developing for the little things. For example, when I was six or seven my mom found some ratty old paperback book at a garage sale called Paper Planes for Hours. Being a mother of four, I imagine she must have seen that book and thought to herself, ”I’ll take anything that will keep these beasts entertained for even 5 minutes”, and promptly bought the book and brought it home to us. As the oldest of the Frightful Four, it became my duty (and eventually, one of my most favorite memories) to help my siblings design intricate paper aircrafts for testing and battle against one another. Now, thanks to the PowerUp 3.0, the “Briggsonautics Games” might be making a comeback in a very legit way.
The brainchild of former Israeli Air Force pilot Shai Goitein, The PowerUp 3.0 is taking paper airplane flight to all new levels. Goitein, a lifelong a fan of all things aviation, originally came up with the idea in 2006 with a rocket scientist friend of his. After developing an unpiloted version, the remote-controlled edition finally made its way to Kickstarter in November of last year, where the attachable craft hoped to reach a $50,000 crowdfunding goal. Not only did they blow that initial goal out of the water in just eight short hours, but only two months after launching their campaign, they sat funded at a total of $1.23 million – the product itself sells for only $50.
In less than a minute, the PowerUp 3.0 turns a paper airplane into a drone that can be controlled by a smartphone. The device itself includes a miniature propeller, rudder and engine capable of carrying a paper airplane up to 60 yards and back again with its Bluetooth-controlled components. The avionics system for this tiny origami add-on is roughly the size of a quarter and gives the pilot 10 minutes of flight for a single charge. If that isn’t impressive enough for you, creator Goitein has some pretty enticing ideas about how to spend the excess funds obtained in the Kickstarter campaign. First, he’ll be adding a dogfight mode that allows pilots to shoot down an enemy plane with a Bluetooth signal that stops the rival’s engine. Additionally, the next-generation PowerUp will have a magnetometer, accelerometer and gyrometer, making good on Goitein’s promise that eventually, “it’ll be a real drone”.
In the meantime, if you manage to get your hands on one of these amazing little devices, you can take the lead from some very innovative users and modify the simple paper airplane + PowerUp equation. For example, an artist in Berlin is using 3-D printing technology to print airplane models and make them fly with the PowerUp. A high school student here in Texas is currently working on a PowerUp flying saucer, stealth bomber and F-16 fighter. As with any new technology or idea, you are only limited as far as your imagination; To infinity, and beyond! Oh, and a side note to my siblings – practice up, the summer flight games are upon us.
