For a straight wing tapering from 48 to 36 inches; when quarter chord sweep is straight, the leading edge of the tip spar is 3 inches behind the leading edge of the root spar.
It does not matter where the actual wing spar is located and what angle it has. ( but I believe on the KR it should be straight as well) The KR2S theoretical wing: wing area of 80.5 Sq. Ft. WingSpan 23.00 FT. Aspect Ratio 6.75 Taper ratio 0.75 QC Sweep 0.00 Deg. Mean Chord 3.51 Ft. MC Span Location 5.48 Ft.
