Definately good one for the checklist. Never thought of this and
while I always step back after doing the entire check list for a last
once over (long video - part 2, you will see me do this at the very

I look and feel for these. What about places you can't either touch or
see?


Well, you can only do so much, but damage from a hard landing will usually
give some sort of sign on the outside.
