## Discrepancy

DURING A NORMAL CHECK OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS DURING MX, FOUND THE CO-PILOTS CYCLIC MISINSTALLED, CYCLIC CAN CONTACT GLARESHIELD AND POSSIBLY WEDGE UNDER IT.  GLARESHIELD AND INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE NOT OEM INSTALLED PARTS.  MODIFIED UNDER STC SR00650DE-D.  ISSUE IS NOT ONLY WITH THIS PARTICULAR ACFT BUT RATHER THIS TYPE WITH THE STC INSTALLED. PROBLEM CAN BE CORRECTED ON A SHORT TERM BASIS BY REMOVING THE CO-PILOTS CONTROLS.  MFG HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON THE PERMANENT SOLUTION.
