Hexacopter Motors momentarily stop working

I have been flying my APM 2.5 for weeks without any issues, today I took it up in Stabilize and switched to AltHold, when it changed it lost altitude and reclimbed, sure no problem. If I yawed in Alt mode then my motors would stop momentarily and it would fall only to be re picked up to altitude. Then in Auto mode it stopped altogether until it was out of control and flew into a fence breaking my landing gear and 6 props.I don't have logs right now as I'm at work, will post after shift.

  • Here are the logs from today's flights. It flew earlier in the day near my home, and completed the same auto-pilot mission twice without flaw. 

    Thinking back on it, I probably should have given the APM more time to acquire sats for GPS, but that probably didn't cause the strange motor failures.

    Thank you for any and all advice.
