## Discrepancy

DURING PRE-BUY INSPECTION, FOUND STABILATOR TRIM TAB TO HAVE EXCESSIVE FREE PLAY.  THE BELLCRANK AT THE STABILATOR WAS WORN.  THE BOLT HOLES WERE ENLARGED AND THE RIVETS ATTACHING THE STIFFENER WERE LOOSE.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS CLOSE INSPECTION OF FLIGHT CONTROLS DURING ALL INSPECTIONS.
