If you literally cut the wings off, won't they be useless because of the continuous spar?  It would be a totally different disassembly if you want to fit the plane on a truck or in a container, AND have the wing repairable.  The popular options appear to be removing the total wing, or removing the tail, and carrying the fuselage sideways on the truck.  Either way, the wing spar is left intact.  

Thanks 

All the options have been thoroughly researched.

I am taking her apart to haul inside an enclosed trailer.

Fuselage will stay in one piece with tail unbolted.

There is a C in Texas with the same issue except it did not puncture the upper skin. The area it went through was an Aux fuel tank. I looked at it and I do not think you can simply do a patch. I believe it should have the entire skin section replaced.

That is correct.

The  repairs needed are replacement of both wing skins.

What king of damage is to the lower wing skin/bottom of the wing?

I was not able to complete the disassembly over the weekend due to horrible weather and airline delays.

I also do not wish to destroy this wing if anyone is willing to repair it.

This is the totally of the damage.

Please Pm me if you are up to the repair.

I will be going back no later than The end of March to complete the disassembly and absolutely will section the wing at that time if none are able to repair.

Cheers

Wow.  After seeing your last post I’m in 100% agreement with those who recommend replacing the affected wing skins.

Not sure what part of Texas you’re in… but if you’re disassembling the aircraft (either removing the tail or wing from the fuselage) for flatbed transport then that opens the potential repair locations.  Don Maxwell has rig for transport with the tail section removed.  

Mooney will manufacture the wing skins, inquire with your favorite MSC for pricing.  Hopefully, no ribs or stringers are damaged.  Your MSC will also likely have recommendation(s) on who would be a good repair facility.
