Help choose a perfect aerofoil.
Hello
Iam designing a 40 size 3D plane, the problem is i dont want to use a thick aerofoil like every one has i dont like thick aerofoil, can any one suggest me a perfect aerofoil for this kinda plane, the wing chord is 12.5" excluding the ailerons they will be built up stick construction.
I am looking for both precession aerobatics & 3D machine so keeping that in mind i am designing it.

RE: Help choose a perfect aerofoil.
Hi
The reason for having a thick wing on a fun fly 3d type plane is it causes a lot of drag and will fly slowly. You can't really do 3d type manouvers if the plane won't slow down.
I think in order to have a thin wing and 3d type flying you would need to keep it very light, flaps, airbrakes or both would help to.
I have built a much lightened version of a president fun fly which may have the characteristics you require.
