Right Wing Control Surfaces Alignment + Inspection Hatches Assembly

Right wing control surfaces were aligned after performing a temporary installation at their final locations on the hinges. The alignment procedure for it is described in details in its respective section. Additionally, the inspection hatches were also dimpled, and assembled.

Aileron and Flap alignment

Aligning aileron and flap was pretty straightforward, according to the KAI, the instructions were to start with a rivet from the center, then move outwards on both the sides, leaving about 4 holes in between. Additionally, check alignment while doing it. Once one round is done through the end of both the sides, additional rivets can be installed from the center then to both the sides, basically repeating the pattern from center through the sides, alternating the sides for each rivet pulled.
