Absolutely, goes without saying...
Update after doing more thorough checks yesterday (engine still attached, more
might creep up once engine is taken off):
Additional damage found:
- Propeller hub: a fine crack (appr. 3 cm long) protruding from the inset of the
prop blade that took the hardest hit.
- Small crack in the spinner.
No visible damage to:
- Engine mounts
- Landing gear frame
- Fuselage around engine frame attachment points
- Any parts connected to engine, including exhaust pipes
(geometry still needs to be checked)
