## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING HEAVY MAINTENANCE THE RT AILERON WAS DISCOVERED IN AN IMPROPER CONFIGURATION. THE BALANCE WEIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH A COMPOSITE UNIT WAS FOUND TO BE INSTALLED WHEN THE AILERON WHICH WAS REMOVED FOR REPAINT COULD NOT BE BALANCED AT REINSTALLATION. THE BALANCE WEIGHT IS USED ON 65C25911 COMPOSITE SERIES AILERONS. THE DATE OF INSTALL IS NOT KNOWN.
