Hmm, my kit was delivered in Dec. 99, so I am probably affected by this.
As well as at least 5 others in my area.
I would like it very much if the factory could post a notice about this, and
describe how one could identify potential problems with the supplied parts.
For example, how much longer of a flap arm is now being produced?
