For damage like that. i would clean and sand the wingtip and go with some shaped balsa or light ply and tack in place with thick CA , then reglass the wingtip, sand again fill any gaps with bondo and repaint. There, nothing to it. I currently have the DV8R in my workroom but i think i can make some more space... hey airbus send it to me! I charge a flat rate and for materials used.

Wow, could it get any more embarrasing for them! (actually yes, was it Paris 88 where the demo A320 went in?)

They should really consider the option that was once available for the 777, folding wing tips!
