Do not attempt flipping if you can't fix your own mini.  You will crash and probably break propellers or more doing so.

This video is aimed toward users new to flipping.  The process overall isn't that hard.  What is hard is making yourself flip the first time.  You need gather some basic information as you start flipping:

Learn how long it takes for your mini to flip
Learn how to adjust the flip speed (stick sensitivity) in your flight board
Don't be afraid to crash

The high level steps to successful flips are:
1.  Increase your throttle
2.  Pull back on the elevator stick and let off the throttle
3.  Increase the throttle when your mini is about a 45 angle to the ground
4.  "Catch", or level off, your mini with your elevator/aileron stick
5.  Try not to loose much altitude.

The goal is to flip quickly and recover easily.  Once you master short tight flips, long drawn out flips are much easier because you just push the stick less.  The more you practice the better you'll get.

Please don't try the take off flip till you are confident you can flip in about 6 foot of space!
