RE: KMP T-28C

Per my conversation with Andrew, KMP will have longer tubes in about two weeks. Contact KMP and get a new one, but make sure it reaches all the way down the wing and mates up with the third rib.

RE: KMP T-28C

The quality of the fus and cowl was fine. The fit and finish was right on par. I had great hopes for this plane and was very surprised when it crashed. I just wished the wing tube had been long...
