Tommy, where are the cracks?  Do they follow any rivet lines, or are they random?  I've never heard of the elevator skin just cracking like that.

Our beloved Harry (N93929) is grounded right now; both the upper and lower skins on the elevator have begun cracking.  The suspicious part, to me, is that it is all on the left side.  

Right now my chief suspects are the trim tab (opposite side) and the possibility of the elevator cables not being quite as tight as they should be.  Has anyone had a similar problem or any ideas about why cracks would suddenly appear on one side?  I say suddenly because 5 cracks, 2 on top and 3 on bottom, ranging from ½” to 2 ½ “ appeared in less than 10 hours operation.
