ACROBATIC FLIGHT: FLIP & ROLL (360º)

Once you have experience at flying of the FTX Skyflash you can continue to make progress and begin 

performing amazing Flips & Rolls.

To perform a Flip & Roll in any of the speeds you can press the right control stick and then move it in any 

of the four directions to perform a Flip & Roll in this direction.

Your Skyflash has a fourth speed with which it is not necessary to press stunts to perform a Flip & Roll 

manoeuvre.

To select it press the speed switch 3 times from the original configuration, so that the Skyflash starts to 

play a beep indicating that is in the fast/acrobatic mode.

Once selected only you must quickly shift the right control stick to any direction to perform a Flip & Roll.

Note:

 it is not recommended to perform Flip & Roll close to objects or persons.

HEADLESS MODE FUNCTION

The Skyflash comes equipped with a help of a flight aid based on the technology of the Compass, which 

can be enabled or disabled depending on the need. The function of this aid is to allow the setting of the 

forward direction of your Skyflash from a fixed point. Preferably this function must be activated before 

take-off so that the forward direction is set correctly.

How to know which is the forward direction?

The forward direction will be fixed when we switch on the headless mode function and this will be fixed 

into the Skyflash from this moment. For example, if the Skyflash is pointing north when we activate the 

headless mode, this direction will be the forward direction at any time provided we do not deactivate the 

headless mode whilst in flight.

How to activate the headless mode?

You must hold for 3 seconds the button ``Speed selector´´, then you will hear one ``beep´´, now the 

headless mode is activated.

 

To disable it, the process is exactly the same, keep pressing the same button during the same interval of 

time until you hear the beep stop intermittently.

To reset the forward direction and set a new one you only have to reboot your Skyflash disconnecting 

the battery and reconnecting it.

6.7

RETURN HOME FUNCTION

The return home function is an aid of flight that is to return our Skyflash in the backward direction that 

was set initially.

How to activate the return home function?

Press down button Trim B and the Skyflash begins to move in the backward direction that was set at the 

time of takeoff.

To disable the return home function, you will only have to perform any movement with the right control 

stick.

Note: 

is not recommended to use this flight mode until you have enough experience to control your 

X-Drone in regular mode.
