In this part I show you how to flash your flight controller with newer version of Betaflight, how you save and recover your settings, and crucially what to do if it goes wrong.

The main thing to take away is that you can't brick your flight controller by doing this wrong, you can always get it back - so DON'T PANIC !

Next time, a shorter section as we start on covering the tabs one-by-one, starting with the Ports tab.
