49-14-01 PIPER: Applies to Model J3 Series, Serial Numbers 14027 and Up; PA-11, Serial Numbers 11-1 to 11-910; and PA-12, All Airplanes.

To be accomplished by April 20, 1949.

Inspect the fittings (P/N 40861) at each end of the elevator connector tube (P/N 40261) to determine if the end fittings are riveted to the tube with two rivets 90 degrees apart. If not, attach the end fitting to the tube with two 1/8-inch diameter, 3/4-inch long soft steel, flat or round head rivets 90 degrees apart; or replace with a new connector tube assembly. Full forward position of the control stick will expose the rearward fitting and full rearward position of the stick will expose the forward fitting.
