DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ORIGIONAL MFG DATA TAG WAS NOT ON THE AIRCRAFT. USUALLY LOCATED ON THE FLOORBOARD NEAR THE BATTERY BOX. A HANDMADE TAG WAS FOUND RIVETED TO THE FIREWALL. MFG RECORDS INDICATE THAT THE CORRECT FUSELAGE SERIAL NR MATCHES THE LOGBOOK AND HANDMADE TAG. A NEW TAG WILL BE ORDERED FROM MFG AT AN INFLATED PRICE.
