yali said:The fall is not your fault. So, do not be sad. Just get another one. The only thing we as a RC Pilot can do is not making mistakes. If it is the aircraft problem, then it is just a bad luck. Fortunately we are not betting our life on its quality, not like the real pilot.
If we are worrying about the aircraft might fail at any moment, then, there is no solution to it and we can't fly any more. We should not blame ourselves for aircraft's quality like bad motor, etc.

smaugnaut said:I have over 15 flights out to 4500 feet (antenna mods) on all the latest firmware. No problems exhibited so far. I pray i wont lose it but i know someday i probably will. To this day ive only lost 1 RC plane due to control failure but this Phantom makes me nervous every time i fly.

How was the bird orientated when it went down. ???? Red or green LED's towards you.
Wally said:If the left back one would fail I would expect it to go left and back, diagonally, not straight left, right...?
slothead said:I think that the left rear ESC failure would explain the left-dive. Is that the ESC connected to the M3 motor by the way?
Thanks for posting all this info. It's going into my FMEA.
