Default RE: Checking airframe for damage?

What he said. Covering wrinkles are one sign. Sound can be, also. Tap the wing and listen for "dead spots" that sound dull. Shake it to see if there are loose or broken ribs - which would require peeling and proper gluing.

With cracked sheeting it is often possible to drip CA in from available openngs (wing root, gear or servo openings).
