I have a question about the thickness of the tailing edge section.  This
photo of Richard Shirley's trailing edge shows a blunt profile.

The Cirrus people told me this is done to improve the feel at higher rates
of speed.  (Interestingly, both Cirrus and Richard have aluminum ailerons.)
Most of the KRs I have seen have very thin (i.e. sharp) trailing edge
sections.



Does anyone know definitively about what this type of change might do to the
standard RAF airfoil?
