John,
I don't know of any reason why you have to cover the fuselage. I'm not sure what areas you plan to leave covered vs. uncovered, but you would like to avoid any configuration that would catch too much air and create excessive drag. Of course, the plane is more aerodynamic = faster cruise speed with the covering.

Is there any reason other than for cosmetic reasons for not covering the fuselage as shown on the Kolb site of a Firestar (white & checkered yellow Firestar with some young pilot at the controls). I'm thinking of relocating my BRS to the boom tube and instead of recovering the area exposed in the installation, just leaving it uncovered. I do not want to have this effect the flying characteristics.
