Entire wing needs replacing. wow that's too bad for the bird. How about the plane, does it need to replace its wing too.

I don't know when they switched to solid spars, but he told me that Beech offered to replace wings at no cost and that very few owners opted for this.

Wow, he must be sick over this. Building a plane is like the guy version of giving birth. A former Beech accident investigator told me that this kind of event would bring down an early Bonanza that doesn't have solid spars. The ram air supposedly would blow the skins off the wing behind the spar like a bomb went off in it.

Some great replys.  Maybe this is the real reason Cirrus' have chutes.
