Valuable lessons before first flight
AD checklist (splice plates, rudder petals, engine mounts at the longerons, wheel bearings, etc.)
First flight checklist items such as those described above. In particular, safety of flight items such as checking your trim tabs to be sure they are moving the correct direction.
Sanity checks for such things as weight and balance and cable tension. What I mean here is what weight would you reasonable expect on the nose wheel for a certain engine just as a double check.
The fairlead for the upper elevator cable would be a good example of something we might all want to provide some redundancy for.
