Looking for Starboard primarily/specifically.

Have some that are beyond economical repair...

Any advice gladly received.
Location is South Africa, but we can freight.

Thanks

There is a set of wings off an Astir CS from a wreck in Manitoba. Not sure what the status is as the insurance company owns it, had put it on their salvage auction which ended 2 months ago and the Club that owns it has heard nothing as to the new owners.

The glider suffered a ground-loop on take-off, became airborne while going sideways and then dug in the tail which twisted the fuselage splitting it wide open and hence it was a write off.
