## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT CONTROL REMOVAL IN PREPARATION FOR PAINT, A LOOSE BOLT WAS DISCOVERED AT THE RT OUTBOARD ELEVATOR ATTACH POINT.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED IN ADDITON TO BEING SEVERELY CORRODED, THE BOLT WAS THE WRONG LENGTH, THE WRONG P/N, AND THE NUT USED TO RETAIN THE BOLT WAS TOO LARGE AND WAS HELD ON ONLY BY THE REMNANT OF A COTTER PIN.  THIS INSTALLATION HAS EVIDENTLY BEEN IN SERVICE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
