Default Foam wing question.

Hi all!


I would like to have a go at cutting some foam wings.


The foam blanks I have are 23.5” x 15.5”.


I was thinking of using a NACA0018 aerofoil but I'm open to alternatives.


36" span or so for .15/.19 size models.


47” for .25-.40 size models.


For my first attempt I may leave the wings solid (unhollowed) until I
get a bit more practice with the hot wire.


I would like a tapered wing mainly for aesthetic reasons.


My main question is what root and tip chord should I go for on both sizes?


Thanks in advance.


Annette
