## Discrepancy

ON POST FLIGHT WALKAROUND, NOTED RIGHT COWL ABOVE PROP WAS LOOSE.  LOOSE COWL HAD NICKED THE PROPS APPROXIMATELY 1 BY .5 INCH.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED RIGHT HAND PROP AND COWLING MAIN SPAR AND BLADES, INTAKE, SPEED TAPE OVER ONE HOLE THROUGH TOP OF FIGURE 8 COWLING.  REMOVED AND REPLACED RIGHT PROP ASSEMBLY, AND RIGHT UPPER FIGURE 8 COWLING.  ALL CHECKS AND RUNS GOOD AT THIS TIME.
