Most aircraft use 15% to 35% mac. The forward limit is influenced by the distance to the horizontal and size. The aft limit is not. I think most go wrong in the mac. The mac for a kr2s is slightly smaller than for a KR2 and the plans are for a kr2. The governing factors are taper and sweep.

I'm trying to remember, but I think the typical flight-induced stress failures almost always occur in the tail attach area, not the wings. It is difficult to stress the wings to yield without stalling them. Therefore, the stronger wings would demand stronger empennage and engine mount too.
