Our flight school is in search of an undamaged left wing for a Blanik L23. we discovered damage to the wing spar on inspection and are having a very hard time finding replacement in a reasonable time frame (6 months). Any help or leads would be appreciated. TIA

Miami Gliders bought a L-23 with a damaged right wing from Cesar Creek. You may be in luck! Give them a call.

Maybe Miami Gliders bought their own salvage then.

Great lead, I will check, thanks!

Those are two different crashes with two different L-23’s. Cesar Creek had there right wing hit by a tow plane. Miami gliders bought it for the rudder. They subsequently crashed another L-23 on a nursery roof. Seems like there should be a left wing in there somewhere.....

Hmm good to know! I’ll check both, I do know the one crashed into the nursery had destroyed wings...we checked. Thanks for the leads!

Is that Caesar Creek in Ohio?

Yes
