Default RE: constant depth, tapered wing?

I built a .60 size plane of my own design in the mid 1980's with a symmetrical tapered foam wing. The wing transitioned to a thicker percentage airfoil at the tip. I still have it and it flys great. Hundreds of flights on it with no damage except a broken prop. See attached pic. I did add invasion stripes so it was easier to see in the air.
