Help - Phantom crashed, now crashes every time after launch

[wharfbanger]

OK,

Flew into a pine tree at about 160ft altitude. Recovered Phantom at base of pine. Camera/gimbal broke free but appear to have sustained no damage!! I have been flying without the hard plastic drop pins for about 200 flights - this confirms my suspicions about drop pins. Battery was ejected from the Phantom on impact.

I have now tested her twice since the crash and on both occasions she hovered for perfectly for about 3 seconds after launch, then flips and hits the ground hard, motors still running.

The Vision Assistant said no IMU calibration required, so I have not bothered to recalibrate.

I have removed the cover but everything looks normal. Motors spin freely.

Any suggestions? ESC damage? Compass?

looks like your compass could be damaged, may look good from outside but could have suffered internal damage.

The compass only affects 2D flight so it shouldn't cause the Phantom to flip.
The flight controller would have to be a main suspect???

+1 - check the NAZA flight controller.

Check the M1 cable that is plugged into the NAZA if this it installed reverse, it will cause the phantom to flip on take off.

Apologise for this - the post is legit, I was getting a server error every time I hit the submit key so kept trying, then went off to bed (NZ time). I had no idea the message was submitted OK.
