As listed these are all very important and necessary. Another that should be added is to make sure that the when the plane is sitting still. Look at the nose gear leg and make sure that it has an angle of about 3 degrees when looking at the gear leg from the side, or 90 degrees to the center line of the fuselage. Meaning that the bottom of the gear leg should be in front of the gear leg where it ends the angle and striaghtens out heading down towards the ground. I forget what the name is, camber or something. This is standard on the Grumman AA1, Tri Q200 etc.
