Crashed in take off with firmware "Arduplane 3.7.1",Why?

Hello everyone! Can anybody help me analysis why my palne failed to climb in the begining of take off ?
Here is my log and tlog:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hrSIuPm
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hsKlepm
and flight vedio:

I noticed again in this log that POS.RelAlt = 0 for the whole flight, while POS.Alt is non-zero. Remeber that we found this on a previous problem that you raised: Big alt lose when switch into RTL

Has your firmware been custom-modified? If yes, will you try the latest standard firmware versions (ArduPlane 3.8) and see if that fixes the problem?

@hunt0r Thanks! The log you see :

I use the firmware “ArduPlane 3.7.1”.I do not correct it’s code.Is it maybe a bug of “ArduPlane 3.7.1”

I have tested the “ArduPlane 3.8”,it fixed the problem( see following figure).

Interesting, when I did an auto analysis on my crash after takeoff I got this:

@hunt0r
I set " ‘AHRS_EKF_TYPE’=2, ‘EKF_ENABLE’=1, ‘EK2_ENABLE’=0, in firmware ‘ArduPlane 3.7.1’“, but " ‘AHRS_EKF_TYPE’=2, ‘EK2_ENABLE’=0, ‘EK3_ENABLE’=1, in stable firmware ‘ArduPlane 3.8’”.

I guess that

is related to EKF parameters I set.

@innovation Thanks for the explanation about the EKF_ENABLE and AHRS_EKF_TYPE. I remember a previous conversation about this, but I don’t remember if it was conclusive.

So is your problem solved now, with ArduPlane 3.8?

@Chad_Frazer Sorry, I didn’t understand… are you linking information from this post? Or something else?

@hunt0r Yes,“The POS.ReAlt=0” is revolved in ArduPlane 3.8.
