## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT NOTICED ELEVATOR CONTROL WAS STIFFER THAN USUAL ON APPROACH.  UPON LANDING, FOUND THE LT ELEVATOR BALANCE WEIGHT HORN IS RUBBING AGAINST THE HORZIONTAL STABILIZER.  FOUND THE ELEVATOR WILL NOT RUB ONCE THE AIRCRAFT IS WARMED UP.  THE ELEVATOR TIP FAIRING MOUNTING SCREWS WERE LOOSENED AND THE ELEVATOR HORN WAS REPOSITIONED TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY CLEARANCE.
