Trust me, it's not repairable. Even if it was, you would end up

I've seen some pretty clever repairs on about this magnitude, so I
respectfully disagree. For example, there was the Genesis where JJ
basically created about six feet of wing from scratch. It took him a
winter of on-and-off work, and turned out so nice you could not tell
the wing had been repaired.

Fair enough. I guess you don't see those crazy repair jobs that often
due to the fact it is usually cheaper just to write off the airplane.
I have heard that Applebay has done some amazing stuff with wrecked
gliders.
