I remember an AE saying while discussing optimin cruise speeds> when designing an A/C...."Try to avoid having the widest portion of the fuselage intersect at the widest part of the wing......Like a fat Opera Lady singing In a Gadda la Vidda (1970's rock Iron BF)

Folks, I recently purchased my friends KR2S project. It's in the boat stage. He has a canopy form an RV9 that he was going to do as a slider. Problem, the width between the upper longerons in the cabin area is 36". Canopy is 40". He had built the sides out about 2" on each side flush at the top with the longerons. To give more shoulder room above the longerons. Question is, tapering the sides forward and to the rear and from top down to the wing stub. Will this taper cause an adverse flight characteristic? Any advise appreciated.
