## Discrepancy

THE LEFT ELEVATOR PIVOT BEARING WAS FOUND TO BE LOOSE WHERE THE HORN PIVOTS ON THE INBOARD SIDE IN THE TAIL.  THE BEARING AND BUSHING WERE REPLACED AND INSTALLED IAW MM.  THIS APPEARS TO BE A FREQUENT DISCREPANCY WITH THE MFG AND COULD BE RELATED TO THE BLAST STREAM OF AIR FROM THE PROP.
