In my view the damage to this aircraft is such that it is unlikely to be economically recoverable. N470RD landed in a field and did not hit anything on the way down, there was a little wing tip damage but apart from that the wing was undamaged, the major work involved damage to the fuselage in the area of the rear spar mounting.
From what I have seen in the photo of this aircraft the wing is a write off and shock of this wing detachment it likely to have so damaged the fuselage centre section that it is not economic to repair, add to that an engine shock load check and a new prop ( undamaged on N470RD) and I doubt if the numbers stack up in faviour of a repair.
