Jump on 24/7 tech support and let them know what happened. I'm sure they'll advise ya on what to do.

A few points from this video:

1. Whilst doing your pre-flight check list on this flight what were your mod values for all sensors?
2. What was the KP index on this day?
3. Where did you calibrate your compass?
4. There is definite TBE going on there, why did you not switch it to Atti?

I was fearful of switching to ATTI, the craft was going mental! i nearly shut down motors at low altitude, I'm glad i did not

Looking at the flight characteristics of your video I would put money that this is compass related.
Atti would have saved you in this instance which is why it is strongly advisable to become very comfortable flying in this mode.

Can you answer my questions 1, 2 and 3 above please? (Assuming you did them)
