I'm looking at an RV, which seems to be a really good deal. Great looking airplane, great panel, great engine, etc. The price is slightly below what this crazy market seems to be doing.
The plane had a bird strike, outboard of the wing tank. A repair was made, but it was essentially just massaging, with no access from the inside. It's still slightly "crinkled".
I know this is subjective without photos or more info.
Beyond cosmetic, and the obvious aerodynamic effects, is there a safety issue here? It would be fairly involved to reskin. I've got a call in to a local shop to get a repair quote, if anyone has any insight as to the cost I'm all ears.
TIA
