Hi,
My Mavic pro crashed on the climbing process. However, the crash seems really weird as there's no obstacle on the way of my flight, the drone just started to spin itself and crash to ground. While checking the wreckage of the plan, I found that the right side arms of the drone are folded!
Could the reason for the crash be related to the defect of the arm to let it fold on air?

There are also some errors in the app log like "GPS Position NoMatch ","battery voltage abnormal" and fatal log in aircraft's log (can be found below): (Most of the critical issues came after the error message below at about 57s after taking off)

There're also some figure and log below:

folded arm after crashed

(At the time, i was using the "Pix4d Mapper"(3D modeling app) to automated control the drone, and its present is directly climbed to 150M to start the capture.)

Any help would be appreciated!

My guess is that prop failed on that arm - lets see what the experts tell you according to the logs.
 
@sparktour Certainly looks like a lost prop. Can you share the .dat?

This incident was not caused by any problem with the motor arms. The aircraft lost the right rear prop, leading to loss of thrust (obviously), 100% motor demand, and rear right motor overspeed.

The loss of the CW rear right then resulted in an imbalance in angular momentum with two CCW motors and only one CW motor, leading to CW spin and a tumbling fall:

wow, I did not know it runs a flight log, how do you view it ?

Really thanks! Although unfortunately, the drone itself is out of warranty, so I may have to pay for the repair?.
