Google's your friend...

http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/...simulation.htm

read up and get building [8D]

Just got done flying today with my Viper/Nelson. Lots of fun, 158 MPH on the radar gun. Not bad for an ARF and an old tired Nelson. The case is so bashed up, the carb just barely stays in.

Good Luck

I will sugested two airfoils mh 18b or naca 66-012 both are good maybe with a naca 66-012 you can get a faster airplane if you have good thumbs, but must be careful with construction to keep the airfoil acurate.

Profili is a very good program to generate airfoil coordinates and can export cor. archives for cnc foam cutting machines.

The current US Q500 record of 103.?? held by Travis Flynn as well as the previous record of 103.94 held by Randy Bridge were set with Chuck Bridge's Vortex. The Vortex uses a NACA 66-12 airfoil.

Vortex airfoil is naca 66-012, it is a symetrical airfoil.

Buy the software CompuFoil at www.compufoil.com. It has every thing you need for a DXF file to run the cnc machine, also has all NACA airfoils.

I'll email it to you as DAT COR and TXT file are not supported for uploading on this forum.

Ops, wrong again, it does support txt files, so I changed the DAT to TXT. Here it is:
