Chad's Crappy Corner and another gadget for his new theme for September.

Chad polled our devoted Patreon members and for his September theme they picked “Cheap Hobby Gadgets”. Chad's gadget this week is the Electric Plane Launcher Kit. 

Amazon says this: Explore the science of aeronautics with the 4M Electric Plane Launcher Kit. This exciting science kit uses spinning motors and plastic discs to launch a paper airplane at speeds up to 30 mph. The kit contains everything needed to construct a paper airplane launcher. Just add paper planes and watch them fly. Detailed assembly instructions included. Requires two AA batteries (not included). Recommended for ages 14 years and up. It was $11.89 with Amazon Prime as of 9/19/16. 

And Chad's take? Chad called this the most crappiest of the crappiest gadgets, perhaps ever. The instructions are the worst. They give you some wires you don't need and tell you go find some other wires that you do need, and are not in the kit. As you'll see in the video, once built, the Electric Plane Launcher never works properly most times when you try to fly a paper airline. And the instructions tell you to cut the nose off every paper airline you make. Why? For safety reasons! So when they do fly, they don't go very far. This is a loser! Chad bought it here:

This never affects how we rate Amazon gadgets since we mostly buy everything we review.
