Don't forget. You can find a VariEze that needs finishing and go to town
and finish it. I had one and liked it very much. But the wife did not like

Dustin, don't overestimate the aerodynamic benefits to this. For one thing,
the form drag of the fuselage is only a portion of the total drag. You have
to consider that the KR2 is already a pretty slick airplane. Induced drag
from the wings accounts for a fair bit, and then you have skin frictio

Perhaps I should be looking at other designs?
