hi there,
I'm preflighting my plane and noticed a slight (1/2 dime width?) up-down wiggle in the left upper wing outer aileron bracket/rod, that attaches to the spar! All other brackets are rock solid. There's no way for me to open up And inspect it and I don't have my plans here to know how it attaches. Not sure if it's a real safety issue or not. So far I've put 30 hrs on the plane and it's been great until now. Help!!! What should I do? I don't want to tear into the top wing if I don't have to... There are no inspection holes anywhere nearby.....

Mike
