I may be mistaken (not actually having Diehl wingskins or having installed them) aren't they like KR2S wings in that all of the aft wing attach fittings are bent three degrees? If you have stock WAFs then only half of them (the outboard half, maybe) are bent 3 degrees, but on the KR2S they are ALL bent 3 degrees to give the aft spar a 6 degree forward sweep rather than a 3 degree forward sweep. I believe that's how the Diehl wing is made, and in fact I believe the KR2S wing (plans built) basically IS the Diehl wing, but somebody's welcome to correct me if I'm wrong about that. What I'm saying is make sure that all of your aft WAFs are bent 3 degrees, if that's what the Diehl instructions call for. Somebody who actually knows what they are talking about (unlike me) is welcome to chime in here...
