Default Broken main spar repai

Does anybody has ever seen a fiberglass glider which was repaired
after a complete main spar damage at around 2m from the root-rib ?
Any emample, is it possible, how , how expensive ?


Almost any repair is posible in fiberglass. Spar repairs are not too
difficult. Get an estimate from a reliable shop.

I once saw a Diamont repaired after it was delivered to the shop in
wheelbarrows - no piece was bigger than 2 meters. So, yeah, it can be done.
I doubt that it was economical though. It was more a labor of love.
