## Discrepancy

ON THIS AIRCRAFT AND RECENTLY ONE OTHER, THE RIGHT RUDDER CABLE TENDS TO WEAR AT THE INTERCONNECT FOR THE AILERON WHERE IT PASSES THROUGH THE INTERCONNECT ARMS.  THE CABLE OF SAID AIRCRAFT IS WORN ENOUGH TO NOT BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH THE CABLE STRANDS.  (A SUGGESTED FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE THE ADDITION OF PHENOLIC BLOCKS BEING ADDED TO THE INSIDE OF THE ARMS WHERE THE CABLE PASSES THROUGH).
