Default wings built for speed?

I want a plane thats fast with a TT pro 46 and a macs pipe on it. I want it to easily fly over 100mphs.

No which wings are the fastest? flat plank type wings, thin air foiled symmetric wings or thin flat bottom wings? say 8% of the chord for the airfoil thickness. on the flat plank say 1/8 inch thick

What i was thinking of doing is building a flat plank wing with a root chord of 16 and a tip chord of 6.5, 9.5 inch sweep and a 32 inch span. fuselage will be 30 inches with a h and v stab.

Should this be a 100mph plane with my 46 and a 9x8 apc prop?
