RE: two airfoils on one wing
Thouroughbred speed designs usually do it too. they'll use the thinnest airfoil they can get away with, and may have to use a thicker foil at the root than the tip foor strength. Check out the extreme speed forum and look for a thread called "let's build a speed plane" Cambatpigg used a NACA 0008 at the root and a 0006 at the tip.
