Default Sport jet plans for 12lbs turbine

Hi,
As i'm approaching the end of the build of my LAVI plane (powered by a RAM500), i started thinking about the next project to occupy my workbench.
because i have another RAM500 gathering (balsa) dust, i decided to build a sport jet that will be powered by a 12lbs-14lbs blower.

i am looking for suggestions and plans for a decent airframe that i will be able to build from scratch, i have no problem building (actually, take great pleasure with it).
was thinking something along the lines of the Balsa Bandit or similar sport jet, something with curves
although i know there are some great flyers like the turbinator, dv8r ect... i'd rather build something with a rounder shape and curves.

so, if any of you have any idea or suggestions, it would be appreciated.
and if you have a set of plans that you can share, it would be great.

thanks
Ravivos.

thanks George, but i was thinking more of a full fuselage and swept/tapered wing design.

perhaps ill just slice down my multiplex Funjet, multiply the parts by 2.2 and build a Big ***** Funjet ...

any other ideas or plans?

Perhaps you can find some inspiration and use Bob´s method for rounding a fuselage, whatever design you choose:
