THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHILE HE WAS ON FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 19, HE APPLIED FULL FLAPS NEAR THE AIRPORT BOUNDARY AND THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT. HE SAID THAT THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT RESPOND TO AILERON CONTROL INPUTS. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO THE RIGHT, AND EVENTUALLY, IT IMPACTED WITH TWO MOBILE HOMES ABOUT 250 FT ABEAM OF THE INTENDED LANDING AREA. AN EXAMINATION OF THE AILERON SYSTEM REVEALED THAT ALL CABLES AND PULLEYS WERE INTACT. THE CABLES WERE IN THE PROPER POSITIONS AND SHOWED NO SIGNS OF UNUSUAL WEAR OR BINDING, AND NO FOREIGN OBJECTS WERE FOUND. ALL FLAP CABLES AND PULLEYS WERE INTACT AND PROPERLY ROUTED.
