Error in PSI Pirate pen instructions

[Monty]

Some may have already figured this out.
I was starting to turn my first PSI Pirate Pen. Looking over the instructions (imagine that) when I noticed on the front page of the instructions under diagram A it showed that the upper tube was the shorter one and the lower tube was the longer tube. When I turned the instructions over, under diagram B it stated - Note that the upper barrel is longer than the shorter barrel, the opposite of the front page.
I checked the online instructions and it stated the same.
Looking at a picture of the pen on the instructions, it appears that the upper barrel is shorter than the lower barrel.
I called PSI and spoke with the technician. He went and got a kit and verified that the upper barrel is the shorter one. He was not aware that the instructions were wrong. Said that they would get them updated.

I have several kits waiting to be opened. This information is helpful - Thanks Monty.

Thanks for posting this. I have corrected the tube lengths in the Penn State file of the app database. I will omit the instructions until they post an update.

Good info. I had a problem with another pen kit but fortunately caught it before I started putting it together. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure about that, Ed. The instruction links from the kit pages is still the one with errors. Is an updated one posted elsewhere?

Their online instructions still have the error.

Well, we will be including a card with each kit to clarify, since the instructions in the kit will be in error.

THANK YOU for telling me!!!
