## Discrepancy

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.
