## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION FOUND LT SECONDARY RUDDER STOP BROKEN.  CABLE TENSION CHECK, OK.  RUDDER PEDALS STOP PINS CHECKED OK, RUDDER PEDALS STOPS CHECKED OK.  THIS ACFT IS NORMALLY PARKED IN HANGER AT HOME STATION.  POSSIBLE CAUSE IS WIND OR BLAST FROM ACFT WITH RUDDER NOT CENTERED.  THIS IS THE  2ND ACFT WE HAVE SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM.
