YES, this is the true use of the wrench, and the only time I've had to use it in 16 months of flying -- after a crash when the propeller got screwed on so tight I couldn't get it off with my bare hands.
With all due respect I believe the vast majority of folks in this thread are confused about how self-tightening propellers work -- they will NEVER unscrew themselves. They ONLY tighten.
Thus I don't believe this is the cause of the crash we're discussing here.
Personally, when I'm setting up...
OMG JKDSensei -- you were actually spot on. Sensei indeed. Alright folks, we've solved the mystery!
So...i uploaded all my old flight logs to healthydrones and looked at previous flights with that same battery. There was this one flight that was super sketchy -- dozens of battery errors. I...
AHA THE PLOT THICKENS. So i loaded a buch of old logs onto healthy drones and searched for the flights with the same battery that took down my drone on sunday. THIS flight is particularly interesting...

Interesting! How can i check the log file to see a loss of power (beyond the healthydrones links i provided?)
Re: over current, i dont remember which battery/batteries that message popped up on. Gonna load some old flight logs and see if that error shows up in any and which battery i was using...
I mean i'm certainly going to be paranoid about that from now on and do that :) But if it's already fully charged but sits two weeks...do i charge it again? I also don't really understand how the autodischarge thing works -- that seems like it could be bad timing if it start discharging itself...
If you're curious, it actually sold for $325 (but the prices now are likely less than a few months ago when it sold). DJI Phantom 3 Professional For Parts OR Repair
Hahah, it's a totally different P3 haha, that one i sold for parts on ebay and replaced it with a brand new one. That one i crashed into an american flag was 100% my fault :) This one was 0% my fault!
Taking off with 55% battery hardly seems like it'd be a problem. It's been exactly two weeks...
Well, it finally happened to me. Audree, my beloved P3 fell from the sky mid flight over the catskills with no warning. I was able to hike down the mountainside and retrieve the (intact) body of the drone, but camera/gimbal is snapped off and gone and the battery is cracked (and had separated...
