## Discrepancy

RUDDER PULLEY CONTROL BRACKET CRACKED AT ATTACH BOLT LOCATIONS.  THIS WAS DUE TO LACK OF VARNISH OF THE BRACKETS AND POSSIBLE SHRINKAGE OF MATERIAL.  PRIOR TO INSPECTION OF AREA, PILOT REPORTED RUDDER FLUTTER AND STICKING.  RECOMMEND INSPECTION OF ALL AIRCRAFT FOR SIMILAR CONDITION.
