The aft side needs to be inspected too. The top rivets on the aft side cannot be seen without access behind the angle close out panel.

I used my Samsung Galaxy S5 Cell phone camera to take pictures.  I have attached the raw and cropped photos for reference. I only attached the right side so as to not clutter up the forum with picture data.  I reduced the size of the "Raw" image to allow it to post. but you can see what the camera took before I cropped and zoomed the area of interest.

Turn on the flash, auto-focus and insert the camera in the inspection hole with the camera just inside the hole and the phone resting on the edge. Take the picture and then crop / zoom in on the area of interest. Did the same thing on the outside with the aileron up and down.  
Both sides took 20 minutes.
I think this is good enough to do the inspection. Someone correct me, but I don't think removing the flaps and ailerons exposes much more of the area?

I just did mine.  No disassembly.  No cracks.  Use bore scope.  Took longer to remove and replace the inspection plates than to do the instpection.

Anyone who's done the inspection:

Were you able to fit the borescope inside of the gap fairing without removing the aileron or trimming the gar fairing corner (to inspect the aft side of the spar)?

The pictures I attached earlier from the Amazon inspection camera were taken by routing the camera behind the gap fairing using the enclosed mirror.

I used the ViVida AbleScope VA-400 ($150 from Amazon) with the tip
articulated to 180 degrees (so the scope is looking back at the
handle). This worked well on both sides, so I don't see the need to
remove the aileron and perform surgery on the gap seal. I'll attach a
photo so you can see what I was able to capture with the scope.

correct me, but I don't think removing the flaps and ailerons
exposes much more of the area?

Aircraft has 856 hours over 5 years of flying.

I too was able to inspect the area without removal of the
flaps or ailerons. I took pictures with my Samsung phone and
they turned out just fine.

856 hours total time - no cracks.

There was enough room without doing any extra work. Time -

That's great to hear. I got mine and it looks like it will be a very
nice tool for
many things. The best photos of inside the wing I saw came from cell
phones, but, if you need to inspect a cylinder, or under a flap gap seal,
this camera really looks like a time and energy saver.

remove the aileron and perform surgery on the gap seal. I'll attach a
photo so you can see what I was able to capture with the scope.

I just picked mine up off the door step 5 minutes ago.   Connected it to the MacBook, opened photo booth, and bingo!  I can now record video..

Pretty cool to play with.  I'm looking forward to showing my kids the inside of their ears now....  There's no more debate.  Smile

We call then ear boogers.
I'll use it to inspect an RV-6 tomorrow and see how well it works in that airframe. Pretty neat tool for the price.
