## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED HE FELT RESTRICTION IN ELEVATOR CONTROLS UPON LANDING.  RESTRICTION COULD BE FELT ON THE GROUND AT APPROX ONE-THIRD AND TWO-THIRDS TRAVEL.  ON EXAMINATION,  LEFT ELEVATOR INBD BEARING RETAINING RING (P/N AGIY) FOUND LAYING IN BULLET FAIRING.  THIS ALLOWED BEARING AND ELEVATOR TO MOVE APPROX .50 INCH INBOARD.  (BEARING MOVED WITHIN HINGE ASSY.)  AS A RESULT, MASS BALANCE HORN WAS CONTACTING HORIZ STABILIZER CAUSING THE RESTRICTION.  IF THE ELEVATOR WAS AT MAX TRAVEL IN EITHER DIRECTION AND MOVED TO ITS EXTREME INBOARD POSITION, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE ELEVATOR INTO STREAMLINED POSITION.  HINGE ASSY REPLACED AS PRECAUTION.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS MORE POSITIVE METHOD OF BEARING RETENTION BE USED.
