I had a fly-away today.

I was flying today and all the sudden my quadcopter just took off. I was testing altitude hold mode and it took off. I immediately switched it to stabilize mode, but it was totally unresponsive. It was probably up 300 ft. and drifting, so I cut the throttle, still with no response. About 500 ft. away it crashed and I broke all 4 arms. It can be repaired, but it was very unnerving. Could someone take a look at my logs and see what went wrong, so this does not happen again.

      The version is the second line of the log file, if you want to avoid the time for a reply.

      Hope that helps :)
