## Discrepancy

WHEN THE RUDDER IS DEFLECTED TO THE FAR RIGHT , THE RIGHT RUDDER CABLE GOES SLACK AND HANGS UP UNDER THE NUT FOR THE ELEVATOR PULLEY CLUSTER LOCATED BY THE FUSELAGE RIGHT SIDE ACCESS PANEL.  TO PREVENT THIS A GUARD WAS SUGGESTED TO PREVENT THE CABLE FROM SLIPPING UNDER THE BOLT AND JAMMING THE CONTROL CABLE.  THE MECHANIC STATES THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM.
