Default Reverse Engineering NACA parameters

I have a Midwest Aerobat that I would like to create a model of in Realflight. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not have NACA data for their airfoil. It is semi-symettrical, but I have not done any measurements on it.
What I would like to know is if there is a way for me to translate the cross-section of the airfoil (traced from the end of the wing) into a 4 or 5 digit NACA number.
