## Discrepancy

PILOT SQUAWKED AILERONS FELT FUNNY.  INVESTIGATION FOUND THE RIGHT AILERON COULD TRAVEL FURTHER THAN THE STOP.  REMOVAL OF THE BELLY PAN REVEALED THE RIGHT CONTROL ROD WAS CRACKED IN HALF JUST OUTBOARD OF THE BELLCRANK FOR THE AILERONS.  SUSPECT CAUSE IS (AN INADQUATE CONTROL LOCK AND AGGRESSIVE PRE-FLIGHT MOVEMENT OF THE CONTROLS).
