## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION,  FOUND BOTH RT WING ROOT SKIN DOUBLERS  CRACKED. WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER,  IT WAS FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.  THE ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE SKIN, THERE WAS NO REPAIR ALLOWED.  THIS IS THE THIRD AIRCRAFT THIS SUBMITTER HAS FOUND WITH THIS PROBLEM.
