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)
