If you fly long range, Turtle mode may save your quad in case you crash and end up upside down miles away or in inaccessible terrain.
Turtle mode (flip over after crash)
------------------------------------------------------
- in Betaflight 3.2 assign AUX channel under "Modes" tab to
"flip over after crash"
- assign relevant switch on your radio to same channel
- disarm after crash
- activate the "turtle mode" switch on the radio
- use roll/pitch stick to flip over in desired direction

Cheater Kwad ? #cheaterkwad
Built my first CheaterKwad last fall when Matek released F722-SE FC with dual fpv camera input :
The main reason was to build a quad that would allow to record rear view footage without the need and hassle of mounting HD camera at the rear. Simply keep just the front mounted HD camera and with a flip of a switch fly the kwad in reverse (and inverted in order to keep the HD cam at correct angle).
The other reason for building these quads was to better utilise my 360 camera - normally with 360 cam recoding anything below, the quad is always in the view. With FPV quads we cannot mount 360 camera hanging down to have a clear view because it would be impossible to take off or land without causing some damage to the camera, the better way is to mount 360 cam on top and upon take off invert the quad and fly 3D inverted with the help of 2nd FPV cam.
dual FPV camera setup : one standard at the front, the other at the rear and inverted, this allows for recording rearview footage (eg. chase footage) without a need for 2nd rearview HD camera (only one HD camera used).
