The inspection portion of my annual is alomst complete and for the most part here's what we found:
#2 Cylinder exhaust stack cracked
Ailerons, Flaps and Rudder have excessive play
Plane is out of rig
Elevator trim parts are worn and need to be replaced
In general all control services need to be shimmed, have bearings replaced and the plane totally re-rigged. The last two annual I have asked about rigging and control surface movement but was told by two different shops that they were fine. Looks like the plane got a lot worse in one year.
The good news is that I'll get the plane to fly right and maybe pick up a few knots cruise.
