Hello gang, Any advise would be appreciated. Unfortunately my uninsured plane suffered leading edge left wing damage due to a microburst in Mesa, AZ. The tail tie-down broke and my left wing impacted the vertical beam support for the covered tie down. I received one quote of 15k to re-skin the section (quote just from photos). That was sticker shock. I found an E model wing I can buy to possibly reuse the skin from that wing. Not sure if that's feasible. I'm also wondering if there's any rib damage since I don't know how close the rib is to the leading edge skin. Can't the damaged section be cut out and a "patch" of aluminum be riveted in? Is a complete re-skin of that section required? It was only uninsured because I fell on tough times. My bad. Joe Photos attached.
