Flight of my Parrot Swing Transforming Drone 06-23-18 (1080p) (4).
Flights took place in the airspace over the 1020-block of Ellinor Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 8:40pm PDT 06-23-18 (or, "2018-06-23T20:40" or, "2018 23 Jun." or even, "June 23, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
The video content is ground-based using my Fitfort 4K WiFi Action Camera taped to the cellular telephone handset bracket on the quadcopter's radio.
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly cloudy, temperature was 70°F (21.2°C), and winds measured with my stupid "punk piss yellow" portable digital anemometer were generally clam with occasional puffs out of the NNE to 0.30mph (0.48kph) at the surface (at this low velocity, it doesn't make sense to call them *GUSTS* now, does it?) ;-).
The music that you hear is zax from the coin-op arcade video game, "Afterburner ][" aka., "Afterburner Deluxe" by Sega from 1987.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off.
You may be able to see an RCSaylors sticker on one of the wings. These guys are my favourite YouTubers and they're all about R/C products, so I feel that they deserve mention here. :-)

Weather conditions at flight time were mostly cloudy, temperature was 74°F (23.3°C), and winds measured with my stupid "rotten targ manure* yellow" portable digital anemometer were generally clam with occasional puffs out of the NNW to 0.30mph (0.48kph) at the surface (at this low velocity, it doesn't make sense to call them *GUSTS* now, does it?) ;-).
The music that you hear is the song, "Dream Trance" by the German electronica group Monkey Zound.

* A targ is a phoney-bologna fake fictional Klingon animal from Star Trek. There is no such thing as targ manure ;-)
I performed a modified version of the systems reset on the Swing, and appear to have met with success! :-)
I placed it in Airplane mode a couple of times during this flight and performed loop-de-loops and a modified barrel roll.
First power on the Flypad. You'll see the Parrot graphic on the Power button blink red and then quickly change to a flashing green.
1: Power on the Swing and wait for the eyes to turn a solid green (the LEDs on the Swing itself are referred to as "eyes").
The Flypad LED should now be solid green too.
This indicates the Flypad and the Swing are paired to each other.
2: Hold down the power button on the Swing (eyes go solid red), and then they'll start flashing red (both eyes).
3: After a short while - the flashing will start blinking rapidly.
4: Let go of the of the power button, and the eyes will flash green, and then orange.
5: Once they eyes return to a solid green, the reset is complete.

Weather conditions at flight time were mostly cloudy, temperature was 71°F (21.7°C), and winds measured with my stupid "rotten praying mantis piss** yellow" portable digital anemometer were generally clam with occasional puffs out of the NNW to 0.30mph (0.48kph) at the surface (at this low velocity, it doesn't make sense to call them *GUSTS* now, does it?) ;-).
The music that you hear is the song, "Synth Werk" by the German electronica group Monkey Zound.

* Flights because shortly after launch, I attempted to switch the Swing to aeroplane mode; it did the same thing as it did in this mornings flights (the system reset of the quadcopter failed to do the job), but I could not get the Flypad shut down quickly enough and it ended up flying into a large crevice above the porch and below the roof of the house; however I was rather easily able to swat it out of the crevice with a conveniently-placed poal saw (I didn't even need to extend the handle) and I quickly relaunched.
** Praying mantids do not uranate like most mammals do; therefore there is really no such thing as praying mantis piss. ;-)
Flights* of my Parrot Swing Transforming Drone 06-23-18 (1080p) (1).
Flights took place in the airspace over the south parking lot of the Shelton Athletic Club near the intersection of
Olympic Hwy. S. and Mill St. in Shelton WA. USA at 10:19am PDT 06-23-18 (or, "2018-06-23T10:19" or, "2018 23 Jun."
or even, "June 23, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).
The video content is ground-based using my Fitfort 4K WiFi Action Camera taped to the cellular telephone handset
bracket on the quadcopter's radio.
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly cloudy, temperature was 68°F (20°C), and winds measured with my stupid
"rotten wolf urine yellow" portable digital anemometer were from the SSW gusting to 5.3mph (8.53kph) at the surface.
The music that you hear is a techno song by an unknown artiste.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles
you off.

* Flights because for an as-of-yet unokown reason, the Swing stopped communicating with its Flypad when I attempted
to switch it into aeroplane mode; it would slowly fly off and ignore all inputs from its Flypad. In a last-ditch effort to
prevent a flyaway, I turned off the Flypad -- the Swing dutifully responded to this by switching to quad mode and
hovering in place where I could easily land it (or in the case of the second instance) resume flying in quad mode.
I'm going to attempt a systems reset on the Swing once its battery charges and see if that rectifies this somewhat queer
situation. :-/

Windy day* flight of my Parrot Swing Transforming Drone 06-22-18 (1080p) (1).

* Windy day because the winds were strong and gusty to 7.30mph (11.75kph). So I "took my ball and went home" as it
were to help ensure that I'd have the Swing available for future flights.
** Scorpions do not uranate like most mammals do; therefore there is really no such thing as scorpion piss. ;-)
Very brief windy day* flights of my Parrot Swing Transforming Drone 06-21-18 (1080p) (2).
Flights took place in the airspace over the 1020-block of Ellinor Ave. in Shelton WA. USA at 8:57pm PDT 06-21-18 (or, "2018-06-21T20:57" or, "2018 21 Jun." or even, "June 21, Twenty Stick-Infinity-Stick" if you prefer).

* Very brief windy day because wind speeds were measured at 6.20mph (9.98kph) at the surface with sustained winds at even low flying altitudes exceeding 10mph (16.10kph) which actually ended up causing a flyaway ("blowaway" might be a more appropriate term here); however I was able to guess the approximate crash site and zero in on the Swing quite quickly. It had become lodged in a chain link fence and threw a prop (which I quickly found and reinstalled) so my Swing lives to fly again! :-)
