My Mach I didn't have a thick airfoil...
LOL mith....they didnt call it the Mach 1 for nothing....

Man before 3D stuff came around, we all had lead sleds...that was the thing to do...take some heavy beastly plane with a big throaty .60 you could find to the field. The cool thing to do was inverted passes with the thing hauling out of a full throttle dive, wings whistling monokote being ripped off, and hoping that nothing started fluttering. Going through an entire roll of paper towels, and 409 to clean all the castor off. You had your "flying" clothes, because they reaked of exhaust. Bottom of your pants legs were always a darker shade then the rest of the pants from holding the plane with your ankles in front of the stab...with exhaust blowing directly on your pants.
