Default RE: Help on wing design

I would say that's a very dangerous combination. You have a wing that is tapered approximately 50% and your tip airfoil will definitely not have the same maximum lift as the 44xx series, which will invite stalling at the tip. From this picture,

The root airfoil looks more like a 23xxx series. You could then use the 44xx series at the tip with reduced thickness. Full size airplanes like the B-25, T-6 and P-38 use a similar progression.
