Look on the bright side, you got the first crash out of the way. Now the other crashes you have won't feel as bad :)
I remember I was almost devastated when I had my first crash, but I learned a lot. Don't forget to check for a bent main shaft and feathering shaft. I didn't replace a main shaft after my first rollover and it was bent. It was bent so little that it was very hard to detect. Only time I noticed was when on spool up the rotor head had a very slight wobble. Thought that was just the head and flew like that for many flights. Then after doing an overhaul on the T-rex, I replaced the shaft just cause I had it all apart, and after the new shaft went on, no more head wobble...
