## Discrepancy

(CAN) TORQUE TUBE FOUND CRACKED. THOSE BEEN REPLACED IN THE LAST 4 YEARS. ON ATTACHMENT YOU WILL FOUND PICTURE AND THE LIST OF ACFT AFFECTED WITH THE SAME REPLACEMENT IN THE LAST 6 YEARS. ACFT MFG SHOULD HAVE A EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE THOSE ARE BUY PRE-ASSEMBLY FROM THEM.  YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH OTHER OPERATOR LIKE PROP AIR HOW GOT THE SAME OPERATION AND THE SAME ISSUE WITH THOSE TUBES.
