## Discrepancy

TRIM TAB ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE AS RECEIVED.  THIS IS A NEW PART.  THE CHAIN SPROCKET HAS A BENT TOOTH.  LOT NUMBER: 2Q04.  THIS IS THE THIRD DEFECTIVE, NEW ACTUATOR WE HAVE RECEIVED IN A ROW.  AN (EXPERIENCED) ACTUATOR FROM A STORED AIRCRAFT IS BEING USED TEMPORARILY TO KEEP THIS PLANE FLYING.  THE DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR IS BEING RETURNED TO THE SUPPLIER.
