Flips

Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, ideally 
9-10 ft. in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any 
obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage. 

Press the 

Flip

 

button

 to activate Flip Mode, then move the Right Control Stick in any 

direction and the craft will perform a flip in the same direction. Press the 

Flip button

 again 

to deactivate without performing a flip.
