Default Airfoil Geometry (Sr Telemaster)

I have what may seem to be an odd request. I'm looking for a decent geomerical discription of the Sr Telemaster Airfoils. I'm trying to set-up a CFD simulation of the airfoil that we're using for our UAV testing. Our plane had a very bad day and isn't available for any measurements (let's just say it's in a few pieces). The plans for the airfoil seem to have disappeared as well. We've got new plans on the way and a very good repairman working on the plane. However, now I'm looking at about 2 weeks of delay in getting the CFD things running.

So if anyone could do some measurments of their Sr Telemaster or read them off their plans. I just need enough info to get a decent representation of the airfoil built in a CAD program, refinement can wait as adding the control surfaces will take some time anyway.

Default RE: Airfoil Geometry (Sr Telemaster)

Shintorq- If any of the ribs survived the "bad day", I might suggest scanning the rib along with a reference dimension (for scaling) then using a CAD program such as Rhino 3D to retrace the surface curve over the scanned bitmap. I have successfully used that method for various unknown or modified airfoil sections. The results are typically sufficient for most CFD analysis.

Mind if I ask what UAV project this is?
