A few days ago I posted a note asking for some insight into the gusset mods for the 601XLs ailerons. I received several nice replies from various folks including a detailed estimation of the work involved from George Smith. (Thanks again, George)
I also received a nice note from Mathieu Heintz and he asked me to share it as widely as possible. So, feel free to re-post.
In his note below, Mathieu is referring to the notification of the aileron mod (gusset plates) described in this Service Letter from AMD at this link:

Hi Frank ,
Notifications are not mandatory. If you see any deformation at the
ailerons, it is wise to install the supplementary gussets. The gussets
are very easy to install. They are sandwiched between the skin and
rib. Remove a few rivets, install the bracket, drill holes into the
bracket and rivet. The Zenith Aircraft demo aircraft which has more
than 1,500 hours does not have these brackets.
Hope this will help.
Regards
Mathieu Heintz
