Then again, maybe it takes on longer on the "Heavy Iron
you have to take the ailerons off on the RV-10, which is why it takes longer.

I did the same- Took off the covers and let the iPhone do the looking. All is in order. I'm keeping the picture as a record anyway. Took 45 minutes. Would have been shorter but there was a really good Grateful Dead set playing........

Not sure. If you read my post from earlier in the thread you'll see that my wing kit was delivered in March and was missing some parts in this area. I have reviewed the inventory of my kit and the parts described in the SB are NOT included.

So it appears that at least wing kits that have shipped prior to the SB issuance do not have the appropriate parts nor instructions incorporated yet. Whether Van's will include these parts and instructions with new kits shipped after the SB remains to be seen.

ETA: I checked "The List" on Van's web site and the parts called out in the SB for the RV10/14 don't seem to be included yet.

ETA: I'm speculating here a bit, but if I read the plans and the SB correctly, for the RV-10, the W-1013C-L/R, W-1013A, and W-1013B-L/R combinations get replaced by W-1013D and W-1013E? respectively, so I would expect new kits to have the -D and -E parts instead of the W-1013A, W-1013B-L/R, and include the new D, E, and W-1013F-R/L and W-1013G-R/L parts.

Default RV-10

Paul, the ailerons have to come off, and the flaps have to be disconnected on the the 10. And since they are primary flight controls, they get double-checked when reinstalling.

I'm assuming you wouldn't generally remove these during a condition inspection, so this will add some critical work to every condition inspection. Or do you remove yours normally?

I'm waiting to see how Van's will respond to my question about providing these parts to new wing kits purchasers (I just received mine in March and I don't have the new parts in my inventory). I'm hoping they will issue these parts to be fitted as part of the initial build for post-SB kits.

Typically any kit purchàsed after an SB issue date will have all previous SBs incorporated into the parts, plans and manual. If purchased prior, the builder is responsible for procurement of the SB and installing it if required. The HS SB, for example, is part of new kits. I expect it would take some time to revise plans, manual pages and inventory.

Default You're right....

We don't normally remove the flight controls during a normal condition inspection. I think once the cuts are made we might be able to inspect them without removal in the future.

And turning the inboard aileron bolt around looks like it will make it doable without having to disconnect the flap. I can't see any reason to not turn the bolt around.
