Everything essential to understanding the new wing can be found here: http://www.krnet.org/as504x/ On that site Mark's comments on Troy Petteway's replacement of the RAF48 wings with AS504X on his airplane indicates that the CG remained exactly the same. Obviously, so did the spar spacing and placement on the airframe so to answer the question indirectly, I believe one of the design goals for the new wing was to maintain the same structural geometry and CG envelope and there are enough examples now flying with the new wing to confirm that that is the case. Mark could tell us more about the aft 2" of the published KR center of gravity envelope with the RAF48. Most builders consider those last aft inches to be "no fly" loading.
