Mike, I used to fly a lot of ships in the late 1980's that used HQ airfoils. As I recalll the 2/8 is a fast airfoil. I had an original Snipe by Jerry Bridgeman tha used a 1,5/8 for wingeron that was a bat out of hell....couldn't slow it down to land it though. The series of airfoils does well with full camber changes. My first bagged wing was on an Airtronics Adante that I believe used a HQ 2.5/9 and was quite a multi task ship for that time. I think you'll find that Quabeck airfoils are quite good. My only criticism would be stall behavior at high angles of attack. Camber/elevator mix might be helpful, if I can remember correctly, they didn't pull through turns quite as well as some of the RG series. Let us know how it flies! Seasons greetings, A.J. DiMizio

I have made a wing for my Fun-1 using this airfoil. I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Has anyone flown this airfoil? Thanks, Mike Ashley RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
