Just a heads up. I noticed movement between the left and right sides of the stabilator trim tabs. This aircraft had SB 18-02-03 c/w two years ago, by replacing the inboard ribs.
I found that the five rivets between HS-1220 and HS-1222 were loose. Once play like this happens, it tends to get worse quickly.
So be sure to give the trim tabs a wiggle on preflight.
This is standard pre flight inspection, at least for me. Flaperons and shake the wings, too, as well as muffler, for any clunking or indications of loose play.
