THe one major problem when I was thinking about it, is fuel tanks, for anyone that wants more fuel and figures to put it in the wings, then it would have to be very secure for when the wing is folded.
I had seen a design before that used a tube within a tube design with a pin. basically there was a hinge on on the inner tube that slid into the other tube with a pin to hold it in place. So when you wanted to remove or fold the wing you pulled the pin and slid the wing out and folded it up. I magine one could do this for a KR2(s) with one of these setups on either side of the wing. The Pin would have to be spring loaded to keep it in place and tight with maybe a couple pull cords on the inside the cockpit to pull on to pull the pin back so that the wing can be free. You are talking about adding possibly 25 to 30lbs for such a feature though.
