Default RE: Need airfoil advice

More importantly the 8036 was meant to work well at slower speeds with higher wing loadings typical of many scale models. I suspect you could do a lot worse than that airfoil for your Mossie.

In the end the only real path to slower landing and stall speeds in any given size model is with light weight. The rest is just bandaids. Often neccessary bandaids I grant you but bandaids none the less. So keep the scale close by when choosing wood and use air to replace other materials where practical.
