To be accomplished as soon as practicable but not later than April 1, 1956.

Inspect front and rear control stick socket castings, P/N 2-705, for cracks at the ears to which the push-pull tube attaches. If found cracked, the castings should be replaced. If a standard AN bolt, nut and washer are installed, replace with a clevis bolt, AN 24-16, (11/16 grip), and an AN 320-4 shear nut so that excessive loads cannot be placed on the socket ears.
