What was found

DURING ROUTINE 100-HOUR ANNUAL, NOTED AILERON CABLE TENSION WAS SLACK ENOUGH THAT THE CABLES WERE RUBBING ON THE STRINGER WHERE THEY PASSED THROUGH (BELOW THE FLOOR UNDER THE COCKPIT). THE TENSION WAS SO LOW AS NOT TO READ ON THE TENSIONMETER. THE CABLES WERE TIGHTENED IAW THE MFG DATA.
