I crash landed my MAVIC 3 recently. It's been a week since the crash. The drone hit the ground hard and one prop was ripped off. Only cosmetic damage occurred. No repairs were needed.
Since the crash, the left rear motor occasionally won't spin up fully with the other motors , then the drone stops, and I get the "Starting motor failure" error. The motor spins a little , but not as fast as the others. The drone becomes aware of it, then stops the motor start sequence. When I try again, it starts.
After this happens, a second attempt to start the motors always works. The motor in question spins up normally. The drone takes off and flies normally. The motor functions fully without any issue after it starts. It just occasionally doesn't start. Just so you know, for every ten starting attempts, the motor will fail to start once.
My questions are these.
1) WILL THIS PROBLEM BECOME WORSE OVER TIME OR MORE FREQUENT?
2) MY BIGGEST CONCERN- WILL THE MOTOR FAIL, ONCE IT'S STARTED, DURING FLIGHT?
3) DOES IT NEED REPAIR? IF SO, How much do you think it might cost?
Thanks.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
