Your AH went crazy between 49- 50 sec !! then every thing went south :(. either your sensors got dislodged some how or disconnected IMHO

what autopilot and sensor package are you using ? can't see any FMA sensors or any thing other than FPV setup.

Range Video OSD, xyz sensors were on the tail boom. If you look at my other video you can see them.

The xyz sensor , how secure were they, I feel the sensors got dislodged but I am not expert on XYZ sensors. I see your video here which shows you setup is pretty impressive. did you check after the crash if the any of the sensors where in trouble/out of place? If not ,lesson1 , Never disturb the scene of crime. Where you flying FPv style while this happened , did you loose RC control ( there was no response to your RC corrective inputs while it slowly started rolling to left ? Sorry to see such a clean installation crash :(

Man that's hard to watch. If it's any consolation I've put about four EZs into the ground like that testing Ardupilot.
I'm just glad it wasn't my code that crashed your plane!

Morli's right, one of your sensors became disconnected.
Does the RV OSD run your autopilot? Was it in stabilization or full auto? Do you have a manual control switch? Were you watching the video stream from the ground?

You were 500' from launch what RC system are you using and what does it do in failsafe??? Is that really a good place for XYZ sensors??
