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

What was found

SUPPORT WAS FOUND CRACKED AT THE FORWARD BOLT HOLE. LEFT AND RIGHT BELLCRANKS WERE NOT MAKING CONTACT WITH THE AFT STOPS. STOPS WERE APPROXIMATELY .50 INCH AWAY FROM THE BELLCRANKS. BOTH BELLCRANKS APPEAR TO BE IMPROPERLY RIGGED BECAUSE THE STOPS ARE ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE NUT BEFORE THEY CONTACT THE BELLCRANK.
