Good to hear that's a none issue for the KR2 safety! Even if it is not the strongest section on the airframe, I too, don't see much of the torsional stresses potentially harmful to the skin of the stub wings, except when we step on it with a hard bottom shoes....
Also, assuming we use tapes to cover up the opening at the KR2 wing joints, would it be a big safety hazard if the type gets blown off somehow during a cruise speed beyond 150mph, perhaps? I don't think anyone had done any wind tunnel test concerning flight dynamics of KR2...
