## Discrepancy

WHILE INSTALLING RUDDER TRIM KIT FROM AEROFAB, ANGLE SUPPLIED WITH KIT WAS FOUND IN A CRACKED CONDITION IN BEND RADIUS.  A REPLACEMENT PART WAS ORDERED FROM FACTORY, IT ARRIVED WITH SAME CRACK IN IDENTICAL LOCATION.  THESE ARE NEW PARTS.  AFTER CONTACTING MFG A SECOND TIME, FOUND STOCK PARTS HAD SAME DEFECTS.  A SERVICEABLE PART WAS FOUND BY MFG AND WAS SENT.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS ANYONE WHO HAS INSTALLED ONE OF THESE KITS INSPECT ANGLE ASSY ON TRIM TAB AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
