If the pilot was in the left seat then wasn't cg left of center?
Would that give the right wing the longer distance to cg than the left wing?
Longer arm = higher torque from lift on that side?
Also the original landing gear design (in retracted mode) make the space
between gear to spar attachmen

It must have been a very high energy impact! I have heard the theory that
he was flung from the plane before impact as there must have been quite a
violent spin/roll due to the one wing being gone and the plane at high
speed when it seperated.

Hi Larry.
I am pretty sure that they got the "right wing" bit wrong for figure 11,
that should be left wing, else it does not make sense. Since they said the
spar broke under the pilot's seat the left wing should be the one with the
short piece of spar attached like in figure 11.

The KR, when properly built is quite capable of limited aerobatics.

Very sad,
Condolences to friends and family, but I have not seen anywhere in the
construction manual that the KR aircraft are for aerobatic manoeuvres.
