Default Instead of hijacking the "Crash Cost" thread. . .

I would be really interested in learning what folks think would be a good spares inventory.
Realizing that it will vary based on your flying style, need to perfect certain high risk maneuvers, time in the hobby,and ,certainly, pocket depth.

But , still, there must be a number of "must have on hand" items that keep you from having to wait for the shop to open simply because they are most often the ones that ground you.

What do you think ?

Thanks guys:
Having tried to land the machine while moving backwards and tail down (tail blade strike), unintentially for sure, I came to the realization that a stock of commonly needed spares would be a good idea. This relatively small hit resulted in both gears at the TT front stripped, the screw holding the tail rotor drive gear sheared, boom messed up as the tail caes rotated and tail case locating screw cut the boom wall.
