Default RE: using different airfoils from root to tip on glider wing.

Strength wise, what is said above is true, gives more strength for inboard sections to be thicker. However, airodynamically, you want the opposite, thicker at the tips. This helps prevent tip stall but the difference is almost negligable at the model size and speed we use in RC.
