Just curious if anybody on this forum knows who won the salvage

It's cool if nobody wants to fess up, I'm just curious.

That wing looks like it might be repairable, but it would take some
careful and clever work, and it might take more time than is
economical. I'd imagine you would have to scarf out a couple or three
feet of wing spar each side of the break.

The last I heard, DG wasn't in a position to make a new DG500-series
wing; they have moved on to the DG1000. So if you wanted a new wing it
had to come from their subcontractor AMS.

Thanks, Bob K.

Trust me, it's not repairable. Even if it was, you would end up
spending years and 30k dollars plus fixing the thing.
