What'a a good airfoil for a 30 inch wingspan pylon racer?
Our club has gone to .15 size pylon racing and most of us cut our own foam wings (we do combat too) and fuses. I'm looking for cord and tip dementions. The plane will have micro gear in it (HS 81's) so the plane will be under 2 lbs. I need something fast with not too much tip stall in the turns. I frequently use one template for cord and another for tip in my combat planes to the inner wing stalls first and out part keeps flying and I'm still in control. I also need to go find that profile' (italian i thinnk) program to print up some templates if anyone knows where it is on the web. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Try:- www.profili2.com
I use the MH24 airfoil on my Q500 and Q40 Pylon racers. The airfoil had to be manipulated a bit to fit the Q500 wing thickness rule. Profili makes this fairly easy.
