Seems reasonable, to delay as much as possible. To be safe, you would like to know that there is no problem. However, if a problem is discovered, there is no remedy. By that I mean, you can't add a doubler, you can't re-inforce something. You must remove the wing. Then the question is, can you find a spar, intact, that you can use. Most likely, you'll be looking for a new wing from a salvage yard. I would suspect that will take some time, because you need a plane that was trashed, but had no damage to the wing.

At our fly-in at PWA, Don Neiser showed us a wing that had failed the test. The wing was scrap.
