Yep, and avoid taxiing thru puddles after landing. Cold water thrashes hot brake-pads.
Always do a dead-cut check before shutdown -only takes a sec- then pull your props thru to vertical. It's a truly miserable experience walking into a horizontal blade... the second time.
Keep a rag under your seat. Wipe the cowls and gear legs regularly.
You'll figure it out ;-)
