What was found

DURING H-CHECK, FOUND THAT EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO PULL THE INTERIOR TAILCONE HANDLE FROM THE CLIPS AND THAT THE TAILCONE DID NOT DROP. ALSO, FOUND A FRAYED RELEASE CABLE AND TWO WORN GUIDE PINS. REPLACED THE CABLE AND PINS, REMOVED THE SEALANT FROM THE RAIN GUTTERS (BOTH SIDES), CLEANED THE TAILCONE SEAL, AND ADJUSTED THE CLIPS. CHECKED OK.
