So get rid of much of that drag; it need be only relative to
a big, even faired bump on the fuselage bottom, and stowed
outriggers but in a place where some wing lift suffers.
Like laminar flow wheel pants, if one has a way to trust the
fairing mfr's sales literature.  With laminer flow, fairing
drag goes down something like 60%.
