## Discrepancy

PERFORMED STABILIZER TRIM FUNCTION CHECK DURING 100-HOUR INSPECTION.  ACTUATOR FAILED CHECK BECAUSE TRAVEL WAS OUT OF LIMITS.  ALSO, THE ALTERNATE TRIM WAS INOPERATIVE.  THE OWNER STATED THE AUTOPILOT WOULD NOT STAY ENGAGED IN-FLIGHT.  FOUND MOTOR USED FOR AUTOPILOTS/ALTERNATE TRIM WAS OPEN.  REPLACED ACTUATOR, OPS CHECK GOOD.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT FUNCTION CHECKS BE PERFORMED PER MM.  THESE ARE VERY NEW AIRCRAFT AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED CLOSELY.
