OWNER REPORTED, “2-26-2023 TO CHECK ON THE CHAINS BEFORE A STORM MOVED IN 02/28/2023. EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE AT THAT TIME. I RETURNED ON 3-1-2023 PLANNING TO FLY BEFORE WORK. DURING THE PREFIGHT, I NOTICED THE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT-WING TIP. LATER IN THE DAY ON 3-1-2023 I MET MY FATHER AT THE AIRPORT TO LOOK AT THE DAMAGE. THAT IS WHEN WE NOTICED THE DAMAGE TO THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL. I ADDED RATCHET STRAPS TO TIE DOWN THE AIRCRAFT THAT NIGHT AND LEFT IT ALONE UNTIL WE MET ON 3-6-2023”.
