Our 9A has about 400 hours on the airframe. It's usually hangared, but it had been outside with some snow while waiting for a 500 hour mag inspection/overhaul. I don't know if I just had missed this before under a smudge of dirt, or if the temperature changes caused it to advance.
This is near the outboard edge of the trim tab, on the elevator skin. A quick search on the forum turned up a couple of relevant posts, here and here, though I haven't yet spent much time looking.
I'll probably start another thread on repair strategies; this is just a heads up and further encouragement to look at this area on preflights!
