The
Automatic
Flip
Mode
(AFM)
is
activated
by
pressing
the
‘AUTO
FLIP
MODE’
button
(the
left
side
of
the
rocker
switch)
located
on
the
top
left
‘corner’
of
the
transmitter.
You
will
feel
a
‘click’
and
also
hear
continuous
audible
beeps/tones
that
indicate
you’ve
activated
AFM
after
pressing
the
button.
At
the
same
time
the
LED
indicator
on
the
4
‐
in
‐
1
control
unit
will
switch
from
glowing
solid
green
to
glowing
solid
red.
When
AFM
is
activated
you
can
control
the
timing
and
direction
of
the
flip
with
the
(right
‐
hand
stick)
elevator
and
aileron
controls.
ALSO,
IT’S
VERY
IMPORTANT
TO
NOTE
THAT
ONCE
YOU
MOVE
THE
RIGHT
‐
HAND
STICK
MORE
THAN
APPROXIMATELY
3/4
OF
THE
AVAILABLE
TRAVEL
IN
ANY
DIRECTION
THE
QUADCOPTER
WILL
AUTOMATICALLY
PERFORM
A
FULL
360
DEGREE
FLIP
IN
THAT
DIRECTION.
AS
A
RESULT
WE
STRONGLY
RECOMMEND
THAT
YOU
ONLY
ACTIVATE
AFM
AFTER
PLACING
THE
QUADCOPTER
IN
THE
POSITION
AND
AT
THE
ALTITUDE
YOU
PREFER,
AND
AFTER
ESTABLISHING
A
STATIONARY
HOVER
(later
on
you
can
experiment
with
‘traveling’
flips
that
occur
during
forward/backward
or
left/right
sideways
flight
but
for
at
least
the
first
few
flips
it’s
best
to
keep
them
‘stationary’).
PRO
TIP:
It’s
typically
helpful
to
add
some
amount
of
throttle
above
the
position
required
to
maintain
hover
right
before
and
right
after
the
flip
is
performed
to
minimize
loss
of
altitude.
In
fact,
with
the
right
timing
and
application
of
throttle
before
and
after
the
flip
it’s
actually
possible
to
eliminate
most
or
even
all
loss
of
altitude
in
some
cases
(however,
please
note
that
the
timing,
amount
of
throttle
and
the
loss
of
altitude
can
vary
based
on
the
performance
of
a
given
model
and
flight
battery,
the
current
weather
conditions,
altitude,
etc.).
Please
read
the
‘Automatic
Flip
Mode’
section
of
the
instruction
manual
for
more
information
and
before
attempting
to
use
this
feature.
