Yes a 50 hour check

You will need a full flow oil filter, the crush washer is required for the scavenge filter that should be inspected at the 50 hour. Depend any on type you will need an air filter at the first or second 50 hour of the check cycle.

Brakes are subject to inspection but average UK use will see a set of brake linings being used within the 50 hour check cycle. It also follows you will need the rivets if you change the brake linings.

Vac filters are also subject to condition inspection with a 500 hour life on the main filter, the regulator filter is also subject to inspection, it depends on the operating conditions the aircraft is subject to as to the life of these items.

You are also likely to need a few lamps for the internal lighting.

Anything I have missed ?

You have to remember it is perfectly OK to release an aircraft from an Annual check with brakes, tyres, air filter and Vac filters that are fit to go to the next check.......that check will be a 50 hour and so the owner has to assume that he may have to change some, all or none of these items as the usage of the aircraft requires.
