What was found

(CAN) DURING A MAIN GEARBOX BUILDUP AND PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE STATIONARY SCISSORS ASSEMBLY, THE ENGINEER NOTICED THE UPPER LINK OF STATIONARY SCISSORS WAS ASSEMBLED 180 DEGREES OUT OF POSITION. THE ENGINEER CORRECTED THIS CONDITION PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE SCISSORS ASSEMBLY ON THE MAIN GEARBOX. UNCORRECTED, THIS WOULD LIMIT THE VERTICALMOVEMENT (DOWN) OF THE SWASHPLATE.
