## Discrepancy

FOUND UPON PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION, THE FLOORBOARD AND STIFFENER CRACKED BELOW BOTH INNER RUDDER TORQUE TUBE BEARINGS. THIS WILL, IF NOT CORRECTED, CAUSE THE RUDDER TUBE ASSEMBLY TO ROTATE FORWARD.  NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AT THIS TIME.  SUBMITTER STATED THIS IS THE 4TH RG WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.
