Thanks to all that have suggested Clark-Y. I should have elaborated in my original post. I'd like to stay away from flat bottom airfoils. I need to fly this in heavy wind. That and I need to somewhat match the shape on the fuse mount. At 02:42 PM 10/16/2002 -0400, Ben Diss wrote: I'm

I agree, fly the plane first, but I had very few choices- pull up and fly over my head into the line of waiting pilots; pull up and turn to my right into the winches/launching planes; turn to my left and fly into a couple of large debri/dumpsters and wreck my plane, or just dump the plane into

Because you have flaps I think many foils would work *almost* sufficiently. Although, I've got big ailerons and flaps on a gas plane and even CROW won't slow the plane enough to accomplish quite what you're looking for. Generally speaking, I like the S3016 foil. Good all around performance and
