Is this considered a done under California law?

Technically it is an UAS (Unmanned Arial System). If you are concerned about needing to register it with the FAA, you don’t. An aircraft under 250 grams do not need to be registered if you are flying for recreation/hobby. California recognizes FAA laws and, to my knowledge, does not impose anything on top of standard FAA laws. So, enjoy the day and fly this for fun at your local park. Just use common sense and not fly it near people, animals, or buildings! Enjoy flight and enjoy life!

Can this be controlled via Android tablet? Or only phones?

Yes. The 4.0 can be controlled via Android tablet

Can you really use this with any paper airplane? I’d like to buy a book of paper airplanes to go with this as a gift but want them to be compatible.

The POWERUP 4.0 has a companion book called The POWERUP PAPER AIRPLANE BOOK which is also sold on Amazon. This is the official and approved and tested book by POWERUP. POWERUP 4.0 is designed to fly with many airplane options which you may find on other paper plane books and on the internet.

How do I charge the power?

Module is charged with a micro-usb cable
