## Discrepancy

WHEN CHECKING RUDDER TRAVEL,  ELEVATOR WAS IN NEUTRAL POSITION.  WHILE THE RUDDER WAS DEFLECTED FULL IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE ELEVATOR WOULD HIT THE RUDDER WHEN THE ELEVATOR WAS RAISED.  THE RUDDER TRAVEL WAS RIGGED CORRECTLY PER MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  THIS COULD CAUSE THE RUDDER AND ELEVATOR TO JAM IN FLIGHT.
