Bill & Sue,
Egads, what a bummer.
I suggest that you do a Google search for a 360 that had a left wing strike.
Perhaps something could be worked out.......... You did have Insurance
sub-section 31-VII-a.3.8.ii coverage, didn't you (buzzard collision damage
covered only to the extent of the buzzard's hospital costs or terminal
services
fees, if any)? Or "buzzard residue damage liability when over densely
populated areas except for illegal flights within the DC-ADIZ"?
It looks like it is just outboard of the most outboard aileron
bellcrank/pushrod rib. Has your outboard fuel tank retained its integrity?
Is there
evidence of delamination in the rib area? I am surprised by the obvious
delamination of the upper skin from the spar (factory fast build?), back to
the BID
used to attach the upper skin to the back of the spar. Have you noticed
skin
delaminations from the foam? It appears that the bottom of the D-section
remained firmly attached to the bottom of the spar. I also noted with some
interest that the solid glass leading edge was distorted enough to create
long
cracks running with the locations where the foam starts aft. Is that black
stuff carbon? Not from the spar, I hope? How far has the upper skin
delaminated along the spar. Hmmmmm, maybe Mark's suggestion is the best,
"build a new
wing."
