## Discrepancy

RT FWD AILERON FAILED DUE TO CORROSION AT ATTACH POINT TO AILERON CONTROL ARM PN 169-5240201.  CORROSION WAS ON LAST 6 INCHES OF CABLE AND WAS SMOOTH TO TOUCH.  FAILED AFTER TAKEOFF APPROX 50 FT IN THE AIR, PLANE LANDED SAFELY.  WOULD RECOMMEND SMALL INSPECTION MIRROR AND BRIGHT LIGHT FOR ANNUAL/100 HR INSP ALONG WITH LUBRICATION WITH APPROVED MATERIALS AND CLOTH TEST.  WOULD ALSON RECOMMEND REMOVAL FROM ACFT EVERY 24 MONTHS FOR MORE THOROUGH INSP.
