Bad news. I started checking the condition of the plane after storage
and the news is not good, see picture.
I'm afraid I'm heading toward a complete rebuild.

The photo raises several questions in my mind. First: this looks to be
the left outer wing panel based on the "one sided spar web". Where are
the wing attach fittings? Why is there so much material on the top and
bottom of the spar caps? The fiberglass skins should be in contact with
the spar caps, right? Was this wing panel stored in such a way that it
received damage but the rest of the project was spared? Or, is this the
right end of the center section rear spar and the loose piece of
material a part of the spar web that came off? Again, where are the
wing attach fittings? Those are installed long before the wing advances
to this stage. To me, the wing skins not in contact with the spar caps
is as concerning as the rot damage.
I sure would like to see some more photos.
