Crash from 80 feet, total destruction

I wish I had a backup! I'm digging between couch cushions for my P3 fund once again.
You will more then likely need to replace the wifi module, and feel lucky if that is all you have to replace. Good luck!
It's a pretty dumb design that allows you to accidently shut the thing off while up in the air. CSC should only be allowed to work if the phantom senses it's on the deck.

Yes they do, no 3 second delay. Sorry for your loss. I feel that there should be a delay or no csc in flight.

I respectfully disagree. I think it is a good idea to have some way to drop it immediately in an emergency, whatever that may be. The combination required to do it should be something that would not be encountered during normal flights.
FULL - down, yaw, reverse and left/right at the same time should fit that requirement.
It is unfortunate if it is initiated inadvertently, and I feel for those who have accidentally done it, but I wouldn't blame it on the design.
I think a three second delay to shut down mid air makes sense. What would require you to shut down instantly? At least have a button or switch completely separate from normal flight controls if you must have a self destruct button.
For me I can see both sides the question would at what percentage of the csc do the the sticks need to 100% I hope. I could see someone doing that motion at different gain rates 100% left from 50% down. Bad habbits from console controls.
I don't know, that's why I said whatever that may be.
Flying into a crowd of people comes to mind. I'd rather have a broken quad than cut up kids. 3 seconds at 40MPH may not be enough time.
Again, if you or dalebb were a victim of an accidental CSC, I feel for you, really. I know it would suck. But we all knew what would happen if we did that.
Very sorry to hear this but it sounds like a classic csc. Remember that there are 4 possible stick inputs that can iniciate a csc. Both sticks down and in, both sticks down and out, both sticks down and left and both sticks down and right. All new fliers must learn this. It is such an unusual manoeuvre that it is near impossible to do unless you don't understand this and you are just throwing it around in the air. I think one position should be enough let's say both sticks down and in but it is very necessary for most machines with moving parts to have an emergency shutdown. When you retrieve your logs let us know but if it was caused by accidental csc I'm afraid you won't have a leg to stand on and selling your p3 as spares will be your best recourse. Again sorry for your sad news.
Descending and rotating... Now if you rotated clockwise you'd halfway to a CSC maneuver. And if, while doing that, you were backing up and sliding to the left you'd fall out of the sky.
After being on forums a good while now it really is a very rare occurrence. An emergency shut off should be immediate. It's one of the main things I'd urge new fliers to learn at the very start, it's as important to know this as getting your home lock before take off imho
Well nobody should be flying towards crowds anyhow! Haha
Roughly how much could I get for what I've got? And where could I sell the stuff?
Try sell on here in the classifieds or even in this p3 forum. Check all the individual prices of what working parts you have, controller being the most expensive, battery, props etc... I'd be hoping to get at least half the price of your p3 back?
