Thank you for the supporting suggestions. There is no damage to the spar or rovings near the spar. It appears to be a plug and layering type of repair. The TE is not split open but slightly crushed for about 3 inches. I will meet with the insurance representative from the C-180 owner this coming Tuesday and we will establish a course of action at that point. Best to all And make that N13EB. I have fat fingers.
