Default Fuselage lift

At the recent SSA conference Jonkers spoke about a new version of their fuselage coming out soon. They have lowered the nose and reshaped the canopy to generate a little bit of lift. A side benefit is increased forward visibility. At least that was my understanding of what he was explaining. It did not seem to be just drag reduction.
