After installing the FPV equipment on my reliable TBS Discovery quad, it transformed itself into an uncontrollable meteor.
Postmortem analysis revealed that*something* caused the Naza to go into manual mode after take off (i.e. zero flight and levelling assistance) and I freaked out and crashed it into the ground. Ive never flown manual before so it freaked me out, but if Id known that was what happened I would have acted differently and either tried to level it manually, or better still kill the radio controller and go into failsafe mode. Hard lesson learnt!
Cost of repair = £30 ... replacing shattered arms and props. Everything else was bruised but okay.")
