HI
Does anyone know the genesis for this SB? It seems like something that the average annual inspection might not catch.
Cheers

The most nagging thing about this SB is:
1) There have been no cracks found in the RV-10, per the SB.
2) Aileron removal is needed to inspect the RV-10.
3) If nothing is found, then put it all together again and take it all apart next year.
4) The icing on the cake is this one:
NOTE: Completion of the modifications in this service bulletin as a preventative measure (prior to cracks being detected) on wings that have been fully assembled is not recommended
Finding cracks may be a good thing so you can at least close out the inspection cycle instead of taking it apart over and over again until you find something.
I wish they'd just give us a preventative fix that could be inspected in the future without removal.

I would guess that if you use appropriate gust locks and avoid extreme use of the ailerons(e.g rolls), you're not likely to get cracks...

Is there any chance an inspection probe / camera could be used without disassembly?

I'm working on that at the moment. Hoping a 5.5mm camera and a 90 mirror will do the trick. No sense in making this more difficult than it needs to be

I would think so. It sure would be nice to be able to use a borescope instead of removing the ailerons.

Hey guys
I just got back from the airport. We have a trip planned for tomorrow and I wanted to get this done before we leave. I found no cracks. I DO have a tip that should address some of of these concerns.
I did NOT fully remove the ailerons. I DID disconnect the push rod control. when you do that, with the flaps full down you can prop the other aileron full up, and that gives you enough room to get a dremel or drill into cut off the gap seal covering the 2 rivets you can't see otherwise. One one side I used a Dremel cut off disc and then cleaned it up with a burr, On the other side I used a #27 drill and cleaned it up with a burr. Seemed the same both ways, The trickiest part is removing and replacing the screw/bolt and nut/washers. There's not a lot of room for fingers Going SLOW and fuel lube to help hold things in place worked wonders. Total time for both sides was 1:45 mins and most of you should know that I'm NOT the fastest wrench around. With the gap seal trimmed, subsequent inspections should be 30 mins or less.

Harbor Freight has an inspection camera with a 8.5mm camera for $79.99 ($169.99 with recording ability). Might be a good time to break down and get one. Might be cheaper options, this is just the first place I looked.

That one is slightly different than the harbor freight one I got a few years back. I paid about the same. It turned out to be a waste. The head was too large to do anything useful for cylinder inspections, and the resolution was so poor it was hard to see much detail. If you buy it, make sure it's returnable. I hope some day I run across a good one that doesn't break the bank.

A low cost alternative that a few pilots have used is an endoscope of 7mm with six LEDs and connects to smart phones by mini USB. Get one with Hook, 90 degree and 45 degree mirrors. www.banggood.com. They come in lengths from 2 meters to 5 meters. Just an idea.

I think I have the same one from Harbor Freight that Tim is talking about. I bought it several years ago and it has been of limited use to me. This one that Marcus mentioned seems to have pretty good customer reviews.
Deems, thanks for your tips. Sounds like a MUCH easier way to comply. BTW, I just got my airplane out of the paint shop on Wednesday and reinstalled the ailerons, only to get home and find this SB! grrrr.....

The head was too large to do anything useful for cylinder inspections, and the resolution was so poor it was hard to see much detail. If you buy it, make sure it's returnable. I hope some day I run across a good one that doesn't break the bank.

I would think so. It sure would be nice to be able to use a borescope instead of removing the ailerons. Jesse SaintSaint Aviation, Inc.�

| Quote: | The most nagging thing about this SB is:
1) There have been no cracks found in the RV-10, per the SB.
2) Aileron removal is needed to inspect the RV-10.
3) If nothing is found, then put it all together again and take it all apart next year.
4) The icing on the cake is this one:
NOTE: Completion of the modifications in this service bulletin as a preventative measure (prior to cracks being detected) on wings that have been fully assembled is not recommended
Finding cracks may be a good thing so you can at least close out the inspection cycle instead of taking it apart over and over again until you find something.
I wish they'd just give us a preventative fix that could be inspected in the future without removal.
