Hey everyone I am relatively new to the whole quad-copter scene and so when I bought my phantom and realized how easy it was to use I was really pleased but recently I have ran into some problems. It first started when I was doing some flips with it. After completing a couple I notice the quad became pretty much uncontrollable even when put into GPS mode. The quad would just start drifting and then nose down and hit the groud. I tried recalibrating the gyro but with no luck. The thing has become virturally unflyable. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Propellers? Motors? ESC? Any ideas on how to figure out what is wrong would be great! Thanks in advance!

Try an advanced IMU calibration.   
After a hard hit   things go wonky

have you opened up the casing and checked if the GPS has become unplugged?  It's taped to the inside ...

Yeah I checked that too but with no luck, everything was where it was suppose to be except one of the antennas that runs down the legs of the drone. When I took it apart I saw that one of the antennas had ripped off the circuit board on the inside. Do you think that could be whats causing it? I mean I still have control of the quad when I use the controller, it just drifts if I am not always bringing it back.
