As reported to the FAA. Reports are unverified, and codes are left as the FAA publishes them.

What was found

THE HOLES IN THE REAR FUSELAGE FOR EXIT OF THE RUDDER CABLES DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THE CABLES. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CABLES ARE RUBBING ON THE FABRIC AND THE CABLES ARE STARTING TO WEAR. THIS MIS-ALIGNMENT IS VERY OBVIOUS AND HAS BEEN NOTED ON SEVERAL TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS REQUIRED FOR COMPETITION AEROBATICS.
