Roughly 25 flights no issues, 5 flights that day no issues. Waited for GPS lock and Home Position Record prior to takeoff. You can see it go into GPS mode and then roll to the left, motors go nuts trying to level... Naza Fail, ESC Fail?? Unresponsive to Atti/GPS/Manual, didn't get a chance for a fail safe but suspect that would have been unresponsive as well. Wobbled a bit but never rolled over, went into a steep fast dive into the only piece of concrete in the bloody desert... Couldnt see it hit but even at 200 yards away, heard it!!! Went nose first into the black and exploded everything nose to tail. Rippppppppped out Antenna mounts!!! Boards etc!! . Naza is the only thing that is intact (figures) ..dont really want to conjecture if it survived and the gps which did have a 3D Puck saved it!! Again intact may not mean it survived the impact. Micro SD was ejected 15feet away from gopro!! Sadly SD was corrupted but managed to recover up to the start of the fail sequence.
Uhoh... Heres where it starts!

The not so surprising conclusion.
