I am designing a new wing for my extreme speed plane and I want to pattern the wing after the Patriot. What is the maximum thickness at the root and at the tip?

By the way, if anyone has a drawing of that wing I would appreciate a copy!

I just purchased the patriot kit and have the plans. I will try to get a pic. up here for you soon if you still need it.

Thank you for your response. If you would make the following 4 measurements I would appreciate it very much.
1. Length of the longest wing rib.
2. Length of the shortest wing rib.
3. Maximum height of the longest wing rib.
4. Maximum height of the shortest wing rib.

What I am really trying to figure out is how thin is the airfoil of a good, high speed plane.

The large rib is 13 inches long and at the highest point 1 13/16 inches tall. The smallest rib is 4 7/8 inches long and 15/16 inches tall.

Thank you very much for the information. The pictures of the plans were also interesting.
