Hi, I have an I flight dc5 with the dji system in, the goggles and controller.
I’m trying to figure out why sometimes drone can flip and roll and then sometimes it won’t. So it won’t roll at all and just go to about 45 degrees and move that way. Same with flipping backwards even when I pull the stick all the way back.
Did a flight yesterday and it was fine. Did a flight today and it’s almost in like a training mode but I’ve not touched anything.
Can’t figure it out. Any help? Is it one of the sc sb switches etc!

it sounds like you have switched the flight mode to angle mode instead of acro/rate mode

Angle Mode (a self-level mode):
Remains level without stick input
Pitch and roll is limited to a particular angle and the drone will not flip

The thing is though I cannot figure out how to change it. There is nothing that says acro mode etc.

You need to go into BetaFlight into the Modes section to to set Acro vs Angle

Ah ok. I will have a look. It’s just odd it’s done it before and then sometimes it won’t. Even when I’ve not been into beta flight.
Reading more into it there is an angle switch on the controller so I’m wondering if this is it. Will need to have a go.

Sounds like your in angle mode, possibly flicked a switch

Jump into beta flight and have a look and your switchs and modes

see Bardwells vid; this will get you back in the air.

Just wonder what is that Flip under the Arm means?

The flip probably stand for "Flip over After Crash" or "Turtle Mode". This spins sets of motors backwards so you can flight back over. Need to be careful when using this though. If a motor is blocked, it can burn out the motor and/or the ESC. The modes listed in the manual are really only suggestions. Depending on how you configure Betaflight, those functions can really be on any switch.

Most pilots like their arm on the lower left switch. If using a remote with a momentary switch (usually lower right), that can be used for pre-arm.

I have my flight mode switch on the upper right on my DJI controller. No risk of accidentally hitting the arm switch if I change flight modes while flying.

My lower right switch is a pre arm when centered but also turns on a physical beeper (not motor beeper). This makes the quad beep if it's possible to arm. The full up position activates GPS rescue.

The left upper switch is turtle mode in the center and the beeper again in the top position so you can turn on the beeper without enabling arming the quad.

Anyone flying FPV should really familiarize themselves with how the switches are configured and what their current settings are.
