## Discrepancy

AFTER A HANGAR RASH INCIDENT, THE RIGHT ELEVATOR WAS BEING REPAIRED FOR DAMAGE TO THE FIBERGLASS TIP.  AFTER REMOVAL OF THE TIP, THREE HOLES IN THE OUTBOARD TRAILING EDGE AREA OF THE SKIN WERE FOUND FILLED WITH BODY FILLER.  THE FILLER WAS REMOVED AND AN ALUMINUM DOUBLER WAS INSTALLED AFTER BEING APPROVED ON FORM 8110-3.
