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

I've seen a couple of wings that were more damaged than this (LS-8,
spar broken four feet from the root, Nimbus 2C spar broken twice)
which were repaired for a reasonable price (FAR less than the 30.000
you cite).

It might be a problem in the US (where probably only a few DG-505s are
flying), though - usually one takes an undamaged wing and builds
female molds in which the broken wing is fixed. If there's no
undamaged wing available, things get complicated...
