Default What to expect when you thin down an airfoil
Chuck, Phil and Ollie

Thanks for the input. I would have chose an airfoil like the S6061 or S6062 if I had built the wing myself. I have had good luck with these in the past. As I mentioned this was a modified wing form an existing model. The bottom of the wing has some arc and is not flat. I'll just have to give it a ride and find out what happens.

If the wing was not such a piece of work I'd propbably pitch it and start over. The wing has tip ailerons and servos with veneer installed to close the air gap, retracts installed and is sheeted. Its of reasosnable weight and what the heck worst case I can bolt on a stock wing or build another.

Thanks again for your help guys.
