Hi,
I had a crash today during a mission.
I ran the mission once without any problems and flew the battery empty (thats log 1). Later I tried to do the exact same thing with a new battery and the mission started ok towards the first waypoint, but after that things go wrong.
First the course were wrong and after that the Arducopter fell out of the sky. Note the high altitude is is not actual (and yes the sensor is covered with foam).
The quad landed ~200 meters from where I were in a very wet area (saw water splashed to all sides). After drying it everything seems to be ok. Initially one motor could not start so guess that was because water was trapped in the ESC.
Any idea to what went wrong?
Thanks
Benny

Benny,
I looked at your logs but I don't see much beyond what you've already noticed which is that your barometer values spike up to 200 meters in a matter of a second or two. The copter is leaning over quite far at the time..I wonder if somehow a breeze snuck in and disturbed the barometer. That's the kind of scale that it's at...if it was a software bug I'd expect a really crazy value but it's just really high...
Sorry, i'm really unsure what the cause of the baro spike might be...:-(
