Today I launched my Mavic pro of a landing pad in a sandy area. The Mavic took off then almost immediately came crashing down from two feet up. No damage seemed to be done and I cleaned out all the sand from it's landing.
I tried launching the drone again only to review a No. 4 Esc motor error. This prompted me to check the back right motor where I found one of the windings on the motor has broke. Probably from a piece of sand getting in their on take off. I attached a photo which shows this damage.
Unfortunately, I am in the middle of nowhere africa (Namibia/Botswana) for the next 2.5 months so ordering a new motor is difficult. Although I do have access to basic electronics shops and repair places in Namibia. Of course I would like to continue to use my drone out here.
Would my best bet be to see if I can get the coil rewound or does anyone have a better solution?Worst case I might be able to make it to cape Town for a day or 2 where it might be easier to get this fixed.
