What'd I do wrong?!?

I wish I did. A couple of days later, I removed the gimbal completely, recharged the batteries, and took the quad to my workshop (30'x40', 20' ceiling). I set it down, armed the motors and took-off. 5 mins into pretty stable hovering, the quad started to drift to the left, so I'd bring it back. And it'd do it again…

I took the battery out, recharged it, set the quad down again, and not 3 mins into the same simple hover process, the quad violently flipped 180 degrees to the right, and crashed to the concrete floor, cracking the upper shell casing on one of the motor arms, and breaking a couple of the LED light covers.

It's been forlornly sat in the workshop from then 'til now.

Unfortunately this seems to be something of a common issue with the X380. I'm a (recent) member of a Facebook group for these models ("XK Detect X380 Owners") and there seem to be far too many very similar postings to mine.
