Hexicopter rolls 90 degrees and drops to ground after about 3.5 minutes of good flight.

I've a strange situation where my Hexicopter will roll 90 degrees left or right and drop to the ground.  It seems to constantly occur after about 3.5 minutes of good flight time.  The flights only consist of stabilization, Alt Hold, and Loiter modes. What could be the problem?

APM 2.5

AurdoCopter 2.9.1

3DR Hexicopter

Attached two sets of logs where it occurred.  The logs just cut off right before the incidents occurs; I can't see anything out of the ordinary before the incidents.

    How does the battery look after each crash? Good charge? No low voltage on any given cell? How do you power your APM? Are you running 2.9.1 or 2.9.1b? Have you tried downgrading back to 2.8.1 and see if the problem happens again? I also have been having power issues with my Hex.
