Occupants were an Instrument Rated Private Pilot and a Certified Flight Instructor. Aircraft appears to have landed hard with gear-up, sustaining damage to prop, cowl, belly, both wings, and engine mount or firewall. So damage is definitely substantial. Right wing seems to have been more heavily damaged, with extensive rippling of the top skins and damage to the flap. However this is hard to confirm as that both wings have been cut away cleanly outboard of the fuel tanks, presumably for removal from the site and transport back to HUA.
