John, If you know any structural mechanical engineers, get one of them to look at the wing attach system on all KR aircraft and they will tell you it s the strongest in existance. If you saw what was holding the wings on some factory certified aircraft, you would not want to fly any of them. To the best of my knowledge there is no history of faillure in this area, at least none has ever been reported.

I don't mean a solid spar, just constructing the built-up spar 17' long(KR-1) insead of doing it in three pieces. I'd like to do this for some peace of mind (I don't completely trust the WAFs, and no amount of reasoning will convince me otherwise). I also plan to leave the wing one piece by not cutting it open in the first place. The archives seemed unhelpful for me on this issue. Thoughts?
