Default Curare' airfoils

Curare' airfoils


I am working up a new drawing of the Pretner Curare' from one of those Russian (copied) set of plans. The dimensions all work up, but the position of parts do not.

On the plan is a note that the airfoil for the main wing is an N.A.C.A. 0018 and that for the Hoz-stab is N.A.C.A. 0012 section. I drew these out, and they are rather blunt and ugly looking.

It is doubtful this was what was actually used. Does anyone have an idea as to what the real model A/C used for airfoils, for I cannot find a reference for it?

A set of coordinates, a note from some magazine article, a picture of the correctly used airfoils would help in some way.
