Swing In and then Reverse Transition

I'm trying to create an effect where a clipboard swings into view on top of another clip, partially covering it, and then swinging back out in reverse to the way that it swung in.  The clipboard is a PNG image file with a transparent background.

I have successfully created the Swing In effect using the Swing In transition as follows.  The clipboard swings into view as if it were hinged along the right-hand side.

At the end of the Clipboard clip, I want it to swing out in the reverse, again hinging along the right-hand side.  However, I just can't seem to make it work using the Swing In or Swing Out transitions.  Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do?

    This effect is probably not best achieved with a transition hybrid.

    I'd recommend animating the Camera View or the Basic 3D effect.

    This is a terrific video, ikr! And you used that swing-in effect very effectively.

    I can't imagine, however, that, as complicated as that startup is, I'd ever get that plane off the ground!

    Thanks Steve, I managed to achieve more or less what I was looking for using the Basic 3D effect combined with the Motion (Position) effect.

    Would you please post a link to the finished video?  I'm a long time pilot and used to fly a twin with big radials for the Navy.
