## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, THE CREW NOTICED THE RUDDER & AILERON TRIM TABS BECOMING VERY STIFF & DIFFICULT TO OPERATE.  THE ACFT WAS EXPOSED TO MOISTURE & FREEZING TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  DURING LANDING TRIM OPERATED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.  REMOVED MOISTURE & LUBED TRIM ACTUATORS.  ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
