Ron,
I am concerned about no wing washout at all. The whole purpose of wing washout
is to preserve aileron authority/effectiveness at high angles of attack, and
near the beginning of a stall. While the stub portion of the wing is stalling,
the tips are not, and ailerons can still be used to control attitude. With the
CG being so sensitive in the KR, I personally would not want zero washout so
that the entire wing stalls the same. With such a short coupling to the
empennage, I would prefer to preserve as much control authority as possible
at/near the stall. Since you are looking at sport pilot/light sport aircraft
anyway, I don't see any gain in performance that would outway the inherit
stability of some degree of washout. Dihedral alone I don't believe will be
enough. Just my opinion....
