At first when we got the wings, there was a corner of the top skin bent upward. Discussed the damage with Van’s and fixed that
Couple months later we wanted to start working on the wings and discovered additional damage from shipping
The wing was secured in the box with screws that were not properly wrapped where going through the bolt holes. So apparently when the crazy forklift driver hit the box, the thing tilted, the wing moved and additionally to the bent up skin, the scratching in the bolt holes occured
Van’s contacted. After some emails and delivery of pictures and required information they assessed the damage as too serious, so this wing is now scrap… getting a replacement wing.
