Seems I read somewhere recently that the lifting fuselage is a bad thing. I believe the article I was reading was about the Hyperbipe. If you look at a Hyperbipe fuselage, it is very airfoil shaped. I always thought that was a good idea, but maybe on particularly aerobatic aircraft, that is a bad thing.

Don't ask me how I know. And no, it's not "blown" open , it's "lifted" open..
