After approx 35 successful flights with my P3 advanced, today it inverted mid-flight and fell from the sky. I was flying over water and the P3 fell into the water and was never recovered :-( .
There was a bit of a breeze on the day of the flight, not too strong and I was flying into the wind (backwards, see video) when the crash happened. I was high than all obstacles (accept maybe birds?!).
Any idea what could have happened? I double check all props were tight before take off. However, for the past few flights I've been getting "Motor Idling (Loose or Missing Propeller)" errors but each time I landed and checked they were super tight. Maybe this was a sign of early motor failure? Looking at the flight log it seemed to automatically switch to ATTI mode after "speed error" then there was an MFI error then a "Compass Error" then crash. All happened in 0.2s!

What can I learn from this? Thanks.
