Is there a listing of airfoil coordinates as used on kit built, or once built model aircraft?

The airfoils used on model aircraft have little in 'semblance to those used on full sized aircraft. Readers often interchange the uses, but I know the model A/C designers of the 1950- 1970's did not use real airfoils. They used what they knew would work, and what could be die-cut.

There are numerous lists of what was kitted over the years, but what are their associated airfoil coordinates?

I have found quite a few useful sets of co-ordinates and polars at the NASG airfoil database at http://www.nasg.com/afdb/index-e.phtml and you can find the odd actual model airfoil in there though it requires a bit of hunting around. also it isn't big on vintage designs...

e.g. here's an airfoil for a plane called a trainer 60:-

here's the same for an "ultrasport"

here's a clark y - as used on loads of aircraft

there are loads of seligs and epplers here if you want to get in to sections used on models more recently...

happy hunting!

Just a minor correction d/T - The UltraSport airfoil is actually here: http://www.nasg.com/afdb/show-airfoil-e.phtml?id=1178
