Many aircraft are designed with different airfoils across the span of
the wings. First step might be to make a template of the innermost rib
of the AS5046 wing and see how it matches up to the outermost RAF48 rib
on the center section, chord line to chord line. A fence of some type
may be necessary if the surfaces don't line up too well (Hint: They do
not.). Another point of concern might be tailplane incidence which may
need to be adjusted after flight testing. Unless someone has tried it
and can report results, it's likely you will find all the numbers
reported on cruise speeds, stall speeds, etc at comparable weights &
power will not apply to this new wing configuration.

I am curious if this is even possible, let alone a good idea. I’ve heard
nothing but good things about the new airfoil wings, and certainly wouldn’t
mind having them on my existing KR, however I am curious if they can be ran
without modifying the inner stub wing utilizing the RAF48 airfoil. So
essentially having two different airfoils on the aircraft.
