Mark L took some time and figured some stuff up related directly to that
idea of a continuous wing spar, having the diehedral come into the fuse.
Check his website for it, if not he will probably comment again about what
his take is on how it should be done to be successful.
I know you are uncomfo
Dihedral can be built into the spars in a manner similar to that use by
Jodel builders.

The Jodel Spars are somewhat wider than the KR's but the method of
construction is similar, and I believe that there is an approved
modification to the Jodel Spar
Well, how about L/R wing panels joined at the centerline and with the
dihedral built into the joint?
In any case, Lynn Hyder's KR-1 1/2 has a solid one-piece wing; see:

The problem with that is, as the center section is reduced, the outer
sections have to be made larger to provide the same wing area.
For example, on the KR2S:

I don't think anybody's talking about reducing wing area, just getting rid
of the WAFs and moving the dihedral bend from the WAF point t
I repaired a Jodel D11 with a one piece wing, and it was a real pain in
the catooch. Why does everyone write about WAFs as if they are a
problem? There's no evidence to support an issue.
It's handy to have the center section/gear/fuselage as a one piece
roll-around.

Some of you may remember Dennis Pointers slick KR2. I trailered it to Oshkosh
behind my motorhome that I had at that time for him to put on display. I was
sure glad that the wings would come off of it. Some of you have taken the wings
off of your KR2s and taken them home for repairs before, I be
Larry is right on two counts. First that removable wings are a homebuilt
must, and second that I am looking at wings that are removable at the root like
my
AA1. The gear must stay with the fuse for obvious reasons, but be bolted to
the spar for strength. I will look with interest at the solid
Soneria's are built exactly that way.
