Default Aerodynamic Turning Model

I'd like to return to this thread for a couple of comments. I'm working on a plane for the same class as The Tick,,,,,,,,only I'm not an engineer.

Specifically, I'd like to see some reccomended airfoils.

The plane is A class, slow combat, .15 engines (box stock), 40oz. Minimum weight, and minimum 400 sq. in. wing area.

We are looking for adequate speed, with maximum turning ability while holding the speed thru the turns. But we need something that does more than turn left and go fast. I am interested in a high aspect ratio wing with a span of 54" to 60".

I have looked at S8036, S8037, E203, E197, and E209, and combinations of some. I haven't found the performance I am looking for.

Suggestions. I have Profili and cut my own foam.
