2015 RV10, 112hrs, no cracks. More importantly I was able to use a borescope to check the section of the aileron bracket that is covered by the gap seal in lieu of removing the ailerons per the SB. The borescope is a huge time saver if you can get your hands on one-- expensive off the shelf or cheap DIY model, doesn't matter.

2003 RV6A, 424 hrs.
No cracks, but a LOT of scratches and tool marks (very different than the workmanship seen on most the airframe) that required a fair amount of high resolution study. Definitely no areas of concern around the uppermost and lowermost rivets that Vans identifies as the problem areas. I'm going to watch a couple of those marks carefully, though (I'll inspect again at my annual in August) just to be sure.
