Can you flip summon a monster the turn it was set?

You cannot Flip Summon a monster the turn it was set, as Flip Summon does not take up your Normal Summon/Set for the turn, but you cannot Flip Summon a monster at the same turn it was Summoned, Normal Set, declared an attack, or its battle position was changed manually that turn. The rules state that a monster’s position can only be manually changed once per turn, and then only if that monster’s position hasn’t already been changed this turn, it hasn’t attacked this turn, and it wasn’t Summoned this turn.
