## Discrepancy

ON 3-14-11 DURING THE INSP OF A 600 HR T INSP, A CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN THE TAILBOOM SKIN ON THE RT SIDE WHERE THE HORZ STAB MOUNTS AFT LOWER CORNER.  THE CRACK ORIGINATES THERE AND CONTINUES UNDER A SPAR (OVER 1 INCH LONG).  MFG HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND ALREADY HAS A REPAIR SCHEME FOR THIS DUE TO OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVING SAME ISSUE.
