Default Many thanks!

Thanks to all for the input.

Main concern at this point is to locate a good flying airfoil and agree that after some comments and research on my part, a SS airfoil is the best bet. Smaller "prototype" model as suggested by a couple of you is a great idea too. LE flaps or slats will be difficult I'm sure and certainly are not a requirement to make the project fulfilling.

Primary objective now is to pick the wing airfoil. There are so many "simple" SS designs and I have had a couple of suggestions. Any input on actual airfoil choice would be appreciated. I am looking for good manners at this point more than high speed scale flight.

Tail surfaces are a concern too but it has been suggested that I could use NACA 0010 here with no problem.

Comments appreciated.

Best regards
