In the process of landing I clipped a tree limb and broke 3 blades. I put on a new set of blades and went back up and everything seems ok. Should I be worried? One or maybe two of the blades were stoped from spinning and a motor message came on the screen. Any tests i can do before to make sure no major damage was done?

I'd do an IMU Calibration, just to make sure the Acc. and Gyro are functioning properly, other than that check your video feed on how the Gimbal is acting, hopefully it didn't get damaged in the process

And for those old enough to remember bicycle clips, a tip, don't remove them ......

Look in on the blocked motor windings and see if the copper has turned black. If it's still shiny, you likely have very little to be concerned about. Please be more careful in the future. ;-)
