Default RE: New airfoil for Bird of Time?

I'm researching prior to building a BoT - based on the Dynaflite kit to start - with original or developed wing.

I have some ideas about minimal wing strengthening, spoilers and intend to build as a 3-piece [instead of 2].

Re new airfoils: came across the Mark Drela designed 'Bird of Time Laser Set' from Mountain Models, who claim they don't have any detailed information on this 'short kit'. Seems odd they are selling it then. Cannot find detailed description, drawings or even reports on a BoT completed with this set. Is anyone the wiser?

There are a few links on R/C groups - eg http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261775 - but they are old [2004], out of date, incomplete and lead to dead ends.

I wonder if the Sky Bench series of birds is related to these goings on?
