Went flying yesterday and almost lost my Phantom 3 Advanced forever -
[size=14.6667px] Did all my preflight checks, calibrated compass and flew for a few minutes over land to make sure everything was working well. I brought it over the middle of the waterfalls I was planning on filming and flew around taking some video. At this point Im around 350' above the water below the falls - I started bringing it toward me then everything went black. All of a sudden I was loosing control - I was able to get if flying toward me in manual control then she just dropped. I thought for sure she was gone and ran over to the stone wall. I looked over and saw her resting on her side on around a 1' ledge of grass.
[size=14.6667px]I cleaned her off and did a test flight over grass and everything seems fine
[size=14.6667px]I have no idea what happened but cant believe I have her home. Any incite or help would be greatly appreciated -
[size=14.6667px]FYI - Up till today I have never had any issues. Last week I did a cold IMU calibration and have flown since without issue. All lights were good, signal was good, compass was good - absolutely no signs of issues. I had the TabS2 on wifi and mobile data but there wasnt much cell coverage. I was connected to 16 satellites but in Healthydrones it showed my GPS signal as fair.
[size=14.6667px]Its one thing to have it fall and be able to send it back for repair but I was about an inch away from never seeing it again

[size=14.6667px]Here is a link to the folder with yesterday's flight records -
[size=14.6667px]Dropbox - Flight Records
[size=14.6667px]I believe the flight that crashed is FLY098.dat
[size=14.6667px]Again, I really appreciate all your help
