Default RE: two airfoils on one wing

Using two different airfoils used to be pretty common on the older pattern planes. I have seen planes with a symmetrical root airfoil and a semi-symmetrical tip with washout. This is easy to do if you cut a foam wing.

Back when I used to design and build a lot, I used a 15% root airfoil and a 17% tip airfoil. As I said, easy to do with a foam cutter.
