What was found

DURING INSPECTION, THE RUDDER PEDAL PIVOT HOLES WERE FOUND TO BE ELONGATED. THE WEAR APPEARS TO BE NORMAL. THE RUDDER PEDAL ARM WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE ARM AND SAFTIED AND LUBED. SINCE THE RUDDER PEDAL IS A HIGH USE ASSEMBLY, A HEAVIER LUBRICATING MEDIUM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. A LIGHT GREASE MIGHT PROVIDE BETTER PROTECTION AGAINST WEAR.
