What was found
DURING SCHEDULED INSPECTION, FOUND AFT FUSELAGE TUBES BENT AND CRACKED. THIS AREA HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR SIMILAR CONDITION. DAMAGE WAS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY TAIL WHEEL LINK STRIKING TUBES AS A RESULT OF UNDER INFLATION OR COLLAPSE OF TAIL WHEEL STRUT. THERE IS NO EXTERNAL STOP ON THE TAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT THE LINK FROM CONTACTING THE TUBES DUE TO COLLAPSE OR UNDER INFLATION OF TAIL WHEEL STRUT. RECOMMEND ALL MFG OWNERS CAREFULLY INSPECT THIS AREA DURING INSPECTIONS AND MAINTAIN THE PROPER SERVICING IN THE TAIL WHEEL STRUT.
