BetaFlight Modes for Radio

Details

Small die-cut labels that show which BetaFlight mode sits on each switch of your radio. Pick the sheet that matches how you fly:

• Starter: what a ready-to-fly quad comes set up with. ARM, a 3-position ANGLE / HORIZON / ACRO switch, BEEP to find it in the grass and TURTLE to flip it back over.
• Freestyle: arming, ACRO / ANGLE, AIR, TURTLE, BEEP, plus RATES 1 2 3 for a rate-profile switch.
• Race: PREARM, PIT (VTX pit mode), LAUNCH CTRL, READY (shows READY in the OSD), PARALYZE (blocks arming until the battery is unplugged) and TURTLE.
• Long range: GPS RESCUE, POS HOLD, ALT HOLD, BLACKBOX, FAILSAFE (a test switch, never on in normal flight) and OSD 1 2 3 for an OSD-profile switch.

A label names the mode; which way the switch goes is up to your setup in the Modes tab, so check it there. Some modes need the right hardware: ANGLE, HORIZON and HEADFREE need the accelerometer, TURTLE needs DShot ESCs, PIT needs a VTX with pit mode, GPS RESCUE and POS HOLD need a GPS, ALT HOLD a barometer or GPS. POS HOLD and ALT HOLD came with Betaflight 2025.12; AIR only shows in the Modes tab when airmode isn’t set to always on. RATES and OSD go in the Adjustments tab (profile selection).

Handy for beginners learning their switches, and after a winter break, so you don’t spend a battery remembering which switch does what.

The photos on a radio show our earlier lettering; the labels you get look like the sheets above, at the same size.
