Since this A-10 is mine, I'd like to chime in on this thread. Anton and John at Skymaster and Bob and Dustin at BVM have acknowledged the need for structural changes to the nacelle spars and have been supportive of me as a customer. Once the issue was brought to their attention, they immediately began the process to improve the kit and have assured me that the damaged parts will be replaced, at their expense. Skymaster will be addressing the issue with current A-10 owners and they will be making design and manufacturing changes which should resolve this issue.

My communication with Skymaster and BVM has been excellent and I am disappointed that an issue with my jet has been brought into a public forum by someone else. Pete did not know of the communications between Skymaster, BVM and me and how quickly they were moving. This thread gives the impression that Skymaster was ignoring the issue, which couldn't be further from the truth.
