A more modern profile with the thick point moved forward might be worth considering, if you're into serious active aerobatics.
Look at what the full-scale Edge/Extra/Sukhoi uses.. fat part ab 20-25% instead of the NACA 30%.
.
Tipstalls aren't the bugaboo they're claimed. Actually required for decent snapping manuvers.
Knowing when and how to do a tipstall, or not do one makes the pilot.
