From a long ago type rating on the mighty shed I seem to remember being told that around 10% of the lift was produced by the body rather than the wings.

Now, as to the vearcity of that statement, I will not go any further as I simply have no idea really, but I loved flying the thing. It looked like a dog's dinner but it was fun to fly if cold, wet and VERY slow...
