Random question...does anyone know of any general aviation category planes, homebuilt or not, that have used a Burnelli-type lifting fuselage?

Obviously, like flying wings, at smaller scales it becomes hard to bury everything completely the airfoil shape, but it still seems like it might make for an interesting light aircraft.

Here are a few Burnelli pics, but they are all quite large twins.
