So THAT's what those little magnets were for! I'm one of those that got the
magnets with no instructions. As I said earlier, I just sanded the grey off
in the area of the brackets to be able to see through the fiberglass.

A couple of comments:
You should have received some small spherical magnets, specifically to help
locate the holes in the dark wheel pants. I *heard* that some builders
received the magnets but with no instructions on what they were for.
My 2010 QB wing also had an aileron alignment issue (mine was 1/16" too
high). Vans sold undrilled mounting brackets just for this purpose. Are you
saying there is now no way to fix aileron height issues?

Why didn't you just sand the grey off the wheelpants so you could see through the
fiberglass? Thats what I did.

Fellows:
Some comments about our latest RV-10 Build (serial # 41862). We built our first
RV-10 (serial # 41087) in 2010-11. The first one flew perfectly "off-the-line".
Its doors, fairings, plexiglass, and wings fit very well. A real beauty.
Our second one built this past year was a totally different story. It had
a misshapen canopy which required adding epoxy with milled fiber to get the windshield
to fit. The doors did not fit the canopy well at all, requiring epoxy
build-up around the doors. The wheel fairings are coated dark gray so one cannot
shine a light through them to locate their mounting holes (what a challenge
to guess where to drill -- epoxied several guess holes). The left aileron
is 1/8 inch low (below a straight line along the top of the wing).
This makes the right wind heavy (see Van's "Heavy Wing Correction").
The aileron hinges are now riveted on (since 2012) and not bolted on like our serial
# 41087. This makes correcting the aileron height impossible. The only
practical way to correct a "Heavy Wing" is to mount a wedge trim under the aileron
of the Lite Wing (trial and error as to how much, etc.).
We have been very disappointed with the change in aileron design, coating the wheel
pants, and poor quality control of the canopy molding. Having built an older
model 10 (before 2012) and a late model 10, I know I would not have the patience
to build another 10. Builders, be prepared for a lot of frustration but
hang in there. It can be done with a lot of ingenuity and extra effort.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency in what Van's supplies. My
wheel pants were unfinished fiberglass. 40866, finish kit obtained in 2010.

Ha. My early 2008 QB fuselage came with some parts for the original fuel selector
valve (little brass handle), and some parts for the newer lift before turning,
large aluminum pointer valve. Until I figured this out I was really confused.
