Hi all!
I'm a newbie tricopter pilot who is just starting feeling comfortable flying my tricopter after about 5 charges worth of flying.
But my last two flights have ended in total wrecking, yesterday I trashed the booms, a motor and the yaw mechanism..
I were doing just some hovering at maybe three meters height, 10 meters from the transmitter, in calm weather when the tricopter just flipped and ran into the ground.
I have the DataFlash logs and need help interpreting the file to figure out what happened.
Can anyone more experienced help me?
Setup
APM 2.5 powered from 3dR APM Power Module. No GPS
ArduCoper 3.0.1 in stabilize mode.
All mounted on a getfpv.com Delrin tricopter.
Kind regards

I took a look to see if I can see anything, but not much stands out to me.
Only thing I notice is a big throttle input just before it looks like you lose control. I see this by graphing throut and thrin on the left with PitchIn and Pitch on the right. Is it possible you over heated one of the motors or escs?
You can try to enable MOTORS in your logging to see if everything looks ok.
