I thought a little "things to check when you rebuild" list would be good to have. Please add your two cents and I will update the original post to grow the list. I assume most people check the standard parts after a crash, but let's make a list of some of the ones that you might overlook:
1. Blade Grip Arms: These can be bent up/down and in/out in a crash. They are designed to be! So you should check them. Eyeballing isn't good enough. What looks fine on the blade grips can actually be several millimeters difference between the sides. In/out will effect your delta up/down will effect the pitch symmetry. The easiest way is usually to take both off, put them on a mirror or other flat surface and see if the perimeter (outline) matches. Then stack them on top of one another. If they rock, then at least one is tweaked. A good visual indicator of a bend arm are the stress striations. These are easy to see with the machine marks. If you see a dark or light spot as you rotate the part under a light source, it is probably from the machine marks being pushed close together or pulled apart. This is your stress concentration and the part should be checked.
2. Boom supports and tail control rods: Give the ends a good tug and twist the carbon rods. A cracked rod can be easily overlooked until you twist it and see there is a split along the length.
