Dr. Hsu, There are lots of other solutions for the wing gap besides vinyl tape, I've seen fiberglass, aluminum and old Venetian Blinds used. All builder preference. You could fly a KR without a covering for the gaps if you like as well.
For stowable wings, you could just build a cradle to carry them vertically that fits on your trailer with the airplane. I've seen many variations on this with all types of experimental aircraft. With two people, I am sure the wings can be taken off or installed in less than 30 minutes with the current design. I have not seen a BRS on a KR yet. Does mean it hasn't happened, I just have not seen one. It is experimental, no reason you could not try it. It would need a beefed-up structure to handle it, so some real engineering is needed for that design.

I thought about using tape at first, but I was hoping to hear something better than that. I kept wondering what was in the mind of KR on this matter when he was designing this aircraft? I don't understand why KR didn't choose the design solution on the wing management like what the Sonex designer did for the Sonex with very limited design changes... I have some idea to make small modifications to make the current KR wings stowable, and I would like to hear any other ideas which may work better with minimum effort?! Also, I am wondering if anyone ever did or tried to install a BRS on the KR2?
