Pictures of the wing structure taken of a wing that experienced a soft crash into tree tops, then fell into thick brush. Repairable, but the parts cost as much as a new plane kit. I clamped the wing leading and trailing edge to show the lack of any parts connecting the front of the wing to the rear structure. The wing sheeting is the ONLY structural component joining the front to the rear, and neither side is adequately attached to the wing spars. The wing's structural integrity relies on the approx. 3/32" thick skin sheeting.
