There's a lot more to it than just mounting a constant cord wing. The airfoil, cord, incidence, washout, and wing area are probably more important than constant cord vs taperwing vs eliptical wing planform. The RV series aircraft use a constant cord wing and I certainly don't think of them as slow or handling like a truck. The point is that the wing really needs to be designed for the aircraft. For the KR series, a PhD candidate designed the new AS series airfoil specifically for this plane. From everything I've seen, it works quite well. Additionally, the old RAF series wing seems to work pretty good as well. One could certainly design a constant cord (Hershey bar) wing for the plane and with a few iterations, probably make it work just as well as the current wing plans, but why?
