    The Parrot Swing MiniDrone takes off like a quadcopter and transforms to a X-Wing type airplane with the press of a button.
    If you're new to quadcopters and RC planes don't worry. The Parrot Swing is EASY TO FLY! It's not going to let you over bank and stall which would destroy most RC airplanes. When it quadcopter mode, it won't let it fall too fast. It has a sensor that will measure the distance to the ground and will limit the decent so if you reduce the throttle too quickly it'll gently descend at a safe speed until it lands safely.

    Thanks for the demo Erik. I just bought one of these and it helped me a lot.

    I've had a Parrot Swing for a bit over a month, and I love the living tweedle out of it! :-D
    It is easy to fly and is very forgiving; I'd recommend the Swing to new pilots of both quads and fixed-wing -- though it doesn't really teach the standard basic operation of traditional fixed-wing aircraft. I really enjoy putting it into aeroplane mode and performing loop-de-loops and barrel rolls with it.
    The Parrot Swing is a real kick in the pants in my opinion. :-)

    I've used it a lot now - it is past President's day and I LOVE this drone. I also bought 5 extra batteries on-line so I'd more flying time.

    Unfortunately not everybody flies mode 2 and most manufacturers and reviewers do not pick up on this point. I know that the mode is changeable in the app but the controller appears to be fixed. 😞

    They just took the parrot mambo added some foam wings and moved the sensors to the back and some different programming lol.

    Got 1 question, how to remove or change the propellers? Broke mine and can't figure it out how to change it.
    Thanks!!!

    • @ErikSummer
      @ErikSummer  5 років тому

      Try tweezers. Put them under the blade and on either side of the motor and lift up while holding the motor. Some drones come with a tool that kind of looks like a fork and work the same way.

    • @ErikSummer
      @ErikSummer  7 років тому

      Do you have the "FreeFlight Mini" app? Turn on the app first, then the control, finally the swing. When you turn on your control and phone, make sure to do it within 15 seconds of each other because your phone will be searching for a BT signal from the controller.

    What's the wings made of?

    • @ErikSummer
      @ErikSummer  7 років тому

      It's a high density light weight bendable foam like material. Way more durable than Styrofoam. And then you get the plastic support inside the winds and carbon fiber support rods on the outer wings.

    • @ErikSummer
      @ErikSummer  7 років тому

      In quadcopter mode, very easy. You let go of the controls and it stops in place. Airplane mode is easy as long as there's nothing near by to hit. Unlike most rc planes, you can not stall the Parrot Swing. But then again, it's not really a plane. The main thing you'll have to worry about is hitting an object. Other than that, it's hard to crash the Parrot Swing.

    • @ErikSummer

      Yeah, this thing does chew through its battery pretty quick. It's a combination of the altitude sensor on the back, gyro and the radio all running at once even when the motors are not spinning.
