Does anyone have annuals done commercially or record their labor hours for inspection and maintenance? what kind of hours are spent to maintain these? if possible relate it to flight hours.

I'm not flying yet with the RV-10. However I would expect the time to do
a condition inspection to be similar to what I spend on doing an annual
on my Mooney. While the Mooney is retractable, its control system is
simpler and easier to get to, and it has no autopilot and none of the
new avionics systems to check. Commercial shops charge approx 25 hours
to do a 4 cyl Mooney. I expect a similar amount of time to do an RV-10.
Also items like electronic ignition and other options may add to that
time. Now if you keep up with maintenance to the point that the only
maintenance done at the same time is an oil change, you might be able to
do the inspection in half that time, but will have spent the other hours
maintaining brakes, wheels, etc. some other time.

Kelly hinted at the fact that your conditional inspection can occur
throughout the year ..... your normal taking care of squawks as they
occur. Pick a month to log your conditional inspection and write down
all the maintenance items done during the past year. There will be
places that you need to look at that you didn't cover during the year so
they need to be looked at .... maybe at the time when you do the log
book entry.

Great question. No I have not recorded the time I have spent and if I did it would not be very relevant. Each year I have done some type of mod to the airplane and in almost every case the modification has taken longer than the annual (condition) inspection. Based on the six I have done ……my guess would be……..24 hours for the inspect and minor repair. I also pay an A&P IA to do an engine and prop inspection. This year I paid him for 3 hours.
I have had to do very little maintenance during the year…flat tire….oil change. But that only added up to a couple of hours each year.
I have noticed that each year there seems to be a few more things to fix…..
This years inspect was done at 400 hours on the airplane.

My first yearI spent more hours doing maintenance than flying. By the time I did my annual I had seen every section of the plane and had every nut re-torqued, the next year was more time flying and this year minimal maintenance and expect about 10 hours doing mostly engine inspections.
Do yourself a favor - do it yourself. There is no better confidence than knowing that the plane you are flying was inspected by you. If you bought the plane, than watch the A&P do the inspection and maintenance.
In my case I went from 50 plus hours the first year to about 10 hours doing maintenance this year. My time was spent on fine tuning engine leaks and probe replacements. Most of it could wait, but I pretty much red X anything that is not working correctly before flying.
