## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTS ROLL TENDANCY WHEN FLAPS ARE SELECTED TO 15 DEGREES.  MECHANIC FOUND BROKEN FLAP BUS CABLE.  FABRICATED NEW CABLE, INSTALLED AND RIGGED.  OPS CHECK GOOD.  RETURNED A/C TO SERVICE.  CABLE WAS OF THE TYPE THAT HAS A CLEAR NYLON COATING.  CABLE GETS DIRTY, NYLON CRACKS, CABLE CORRODES.  CANNONT ADEQUATELY INSPECT CABLE WITH NYLON ON IT.
