## Discrepancy

FOUND EXCESSIVE PLAY IN ELEVATOR.  UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND PITCH TRIM MOTOR ROTATING SLIGHTLY WHEN MOVING ELEVATOR.  REMOVED PITCH TRIM MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLED MOTOR FROM BRACKET.  DISCOVERED 2 OF THE 4 ATTACH SCREWS BACKED OUT COMPLETELY, AND THE OTHER 2 ATTACH SCREWS VERY LOOSE CAUSING THE ROTATION OF THE PITCH TRIM MOTOR WHEN ELEVATOR WAS MOVED.
