## Discrepancy

Flight DAE001 from MIA to PTY.  After takeoff during climb, crew could not keep aircraft level.  Applied 5 units of trim and left rudder required to maintain level flight.  Aircraft returned to MIA and landed without further incident.  Upon landing found 2 right hand spoilers remained extended caused by broken spoiler cable rod end at the rigging beam. Replaced rod end, ops check good.  Aircraft returned to service.
