Mike,
Not correcting your theory or practice of low-drag flying, just the
Spitfire airfoil part. Spitfires had a NACA 2213 airfoil at the root,
tapering to 9% (2209) near the tip and washed out to keep the elliptical
planform from stalling all at once across the span.

wouldn’t mind having them on my existing KR, however I am curious if
they can be ran without modifying the inner stub wing uti
With all that being said, Dan Diehl once told me that he would build another
KR2 and change the angle of attack of the RAF airfoil by 2 degrees, so the
speed of the plane would not make it “Plow” through the air. And increase
airspeed by the loss of drag.
