Tuesday morning, July 5, 2016, I was flying at Rock Park in Castle Rock, CO and after a good while of flying, the drone hit the side of the rock wall and came down, video here: https://youtu.be/bNdeitpk0I4 Today, Sunday July 10, 2016, I've completed replacing all the broken parts, painted it and assembled it all together. Powered it back up and performed all ground operational checks (IMU calibration, gimbal calibration, camera operation). All ground ops check good. Proceeded to the park for all flight operational checks (compass calibration, all flight controls, camera and gimbal controls) The only thing I noticed differently, is at low altitude (less than 15 feet) it was reading incorrectly. Also at an idle hover, it wasn't very steady and would waver around a little, probably because of the altered weight due to the paint job. Everything else checked out good. I'll be performing another test to check duration of a fully charged battery to see if battery life has diminished since the added weight of the paint.
