## Discrepancy

WING FABRIC WAS FOUND TO BE ROTTED ALONG THE EDGE OF THE STRAIGHT EDGED FIBREGLASS SURFACE TAPE ON A TWO YEAR OLD FACTORY COVERED WING.  THE PAINT PPG SYSTEM DELTA, SHOWS CRACKS ALONG THE EDGES OF ALL SURFACE TAPES ON THE TOP OF BOTH WINGS IN THE PROP ARC.  THE BAY THAT ACTUALLY FAILED SHOWED A BROWN STAIN ALONG ITS LENGTH.  AIRCRAFT IS NORMALLY HANGARED.
