## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING AN INSPECTION ON ACFT, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE LT INBD CHORD-WISE FLAP ROD WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE SPAN-WISE ROD. ONCE THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE ACFT, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE SPAN-WISE ROD HAD A GROOVE WORN IN IT FROM THE OTHER ROD. A NEW SPAN-WISE ROD WAS INSTALLED. DURING INSTALLATION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE BELL CRANK SUPPORT STRUCTURE WAS POSSIBLY NOT SITUATED CORRECTLY LEADING TO A LACK OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE 2 RODS. THESE ARE RE-LIFED WINGS PURCHASED FROM R.W. MARTIN AND INSTALLED BY ROCKY MOUNTAIN ACFT. THE EXACT CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED YET AND AN UPDATE WILL BE PROVIDED WHEN THIS IS DETERMINED.
