Get a Parrot Swing with Flypad controller for $33
It’s a drone, but push a button and it’s an airplane! This top-rated toy originally sold for $140.
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a drone… it’s a plane… it’s the super Parrot Swing!
ParrotParrot makes some of the most interesting drones on the market. Case in point: the Swing, which looks like an X-wing and can switch between quadcopter and airplane modes midflight.
It originally sold for $140, but for a limited time, TechRabbit has the refurbished Parrot Swing with Flypad Controller for $32.99 shipped. That’s after applying promo code CNETFLY7 at checkout. Cheapskate exclusive!
Read CNET’s hands-on review of the Parrot Swing if you want to learn more about it, then check out the 4.7-star-average customer reviews at Amazon (where it sells for $69 new).
Battery life will limit you to around 8 minutes of flying time (not uncommon for small drones), so consider something like this 3-pack of additional batteries — with charger! — for $26.
I haven’t flown the Swing, but it looks like a fantastic deal — especially considering that TechRabbit covers it with a one-year warranty.
Looking for more deals? Check out this amazingly useful desktop surge protector for just $19 — and a $5 deal on a great animated movie, too.
