===== General =====

In Betaflight you can configure flightmodes. In order to configure them connect your FC to your computer using a USB Cable. (Sometimes USB-C to USB-C cables don't work and you have to use a USB-C to USB-A cable with a USB-A to USB-C adapter)
Then connect to Betafpv Configurator, links to the configurator are above.

There are lots of flightmodes but we will stick to the most used ones in this guide.

===== Setup Modes =====

In Betaflight Configurator change to the "Modes" tab on the left side.

===== Modes =====

==== ARM ====

To fly, you need to arm the quadcopter first. Once armed, the motors will spin. Disarm the drone right after landing or crashing to stop the motors.

With the "MOTOR STOP" option on, the motors won’t spin when armed until you raise the throttle.

If only "ARM" is active and no other mode is active the drone will be flying in acro / manual mode.

==== ANGLE ====

In Angle mode, the drone self-levels when the control sticks are released to the centered position.

This mode limits how far the drone can tilt, preventing it from losing control.

It works like a stabilized DJI camera drone, making it ideal for beginners to fly.

If you can't select "ANGLE" mode make sure you activated your accelerometer.

==== FLIP OVER AFTER CRASH ====

If your drone crashes and ends up upside down, you can use this mode to "flip" it back over and attempt to take off again, saving you from walking over to retrieve it.

This is done by spinning one side of the motors in the opposite direction, and it requires the DShot ESC protocol to function.

This feature is also known as "Turtle Mode."

==== BEEPERON ====

Previously known as BEEPER, this feature activates the drone's buzzer (if available), making it easier to locate a crashed drone.

If your drone lacks a buzzer, you can set up an ESC beacon, which makes the motors beep like a buzzer.

==== GPS RESCUE ====

If your drone has a working GPS module, you can configure GPS Rescue mode.

When activated, the drone will return to its takeoff location.
