## Discrepancy

LOWER INBOARD LEADING EDGE SKIN CRACKED BETWEEN FUEL TANK DRAIN FITTING HOLE AND REAR EDGE OF SKIN.  CRACK IS THROUGH AND AREA APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES WIDE THAT HAS NO RIVET CONNECTING SKIN TO FRONT SPAR STRUCTURE.  NORMAL FLEXING OF WING APPEARS TO BE STRESSING THE SKIN IN THIS AREA.  THIS IS THE THIRD BARON FOUND WITH THIS PROBLEM.
