Parrot Swing: a hybrid between drone and rc plane

Parrot drones are really complicated to qualify. Parrot mini drums are expensive and I have never been convinced, although I can not say they are of poor quality or anything like that. They just ... stay halfway to everything. But today with the Parrot Swing I will not say that it is a poorly finished product or indefinite, for nothing, I will defend it and I will tell you because this product has finally managed to convince me from the beginning. Go for it!

The Parrot Swing is presented to us as a hybrid halfway between a conventional quadricopter (the typical drones we bring to Mundodron) and a rc initiation airplane. But of course ... how does this blend? Here comes the real good deed of the boys of Parrot. The Parrot Swing wants you to have the ease of the flight start and landing of a drone and the speed and aerial show of an RC plane. That is the key. And he gets it ... up to a point, but he succeeds.

Discard to fly this device in days with more than 5 km / h, that of course. It's not a plane / drone prepared for major complications, of course. But if we have the necessary meteorological conditions, we will see how this mixture is a success. Starting the flight for a rookie of this drone has no mystery: you give the button of his physical command (very important and novelty in the mini drones of Parrot) and starts the flight as a conventional quadricopter was. If you want to move little by little and precisely you use the movement sticks and little more, but if you want to catch speed ... then you give the levers (a lever is to go in one direction and the other lever because otherwise) and You begin to move gradually as if it were an RC plane.

Parrot Swing: The hybrid between drone and rc plane

It is not very fast, clearly, but the combination of both types of flights and the ease of starting a flight in quadricopter mode, fly like a rc plane and then leave it in quadricopter to land in the exact place you want ... is a whole Wonder for those who do not want to complicate life too much.

The speed as well as many things are configurable through our smartphone, being an all control panel interesting to touch basic elements of the flight of our Parrot Swing. Of course you can fly without having to put the control knob, which I loved, because you do not always want to use the smartphone or simply do not want to spend the battery.

In short, a hybrid between drone and rc airplane very fun and convincing. Highly recommended for the sector started or who likes this kind of gadgets so curious. If you are already very involved in this world (both drones and planes ...) it is true that it can stay quite short, since it does not go deep in any of the aspects.

Additionally, if you need to purchase some rc drone accessories, you can search via Banggood website, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide affordable prices, such as servo extension wire, rc canopy latch, etc.
