Naca 66-012 with max thickness at 50 % of the chord
I´ve been using the naca 66-012 airfoil in my wings with a max thickness of 12 % at 45% of the chord . I´d like to try same airfoil with 50% or 55% of the chord. Anybody in this forum can share his experience with this airfoil modification?

Well... since no one answered your post... I will try... The 66-012 seems to be a very fast and easy to fly airfoil. I am currently flying a woody with that airfoil with the thickest section at about 50-55% (I didn't make the templates... but that is about what it looks like to me). I also believe that several of the most competitive US composite quickies use that airfoil or something very close. I don't think you can go too wrong trying it. I am flying mine with a CG at 3 3/16". Good luck.
