Get into HS rail, and move your feet into the 'Cooper position' (both feet at one end of the board). If you usually flip the board with your front foot (like me) you're going to have to do this switch.

With both your feet at the end, get your balence centered over the wheel, hold out your right hand (left if your regular), and flip the board heelflip direction with your back foot. You should be kicking diagonally away from you.

When you see the board has flipped 3/4, catch the nose with your hand and land with your back foot on the bottom truck.

Now you're ready to flip out like you would from a 50/50 fingerflip.

If your're having trouble with this trick, practice just catching the board in your hand (landing with feet on floor) and then practice landing with your foot on the truck, then put them together and you've got yourself a butterflip!
