Default Pattern Airfoils

What airfoils are used in various pattern planes. Name of plane, airfoil of root and wing tip(if tip is different) and stab. Wing span and area would also be nice. Wing root chord and wing tip chord would also be nice. Is there a data base that would have this info. Any knowledge of do's and don'ts in this area would also be of interest. I did say pattern planes. This would also be interesting for IMAC planes(bigger) but that would be another thead for the IMAC section. Thanks in advance for any and all reply's.

You could probably do well with just a basic symmetrical airfoil, like a NACA 0012, I bet. The pattern planes I've flown have had symmetrical airfoils.

You can look at M. Selig's airfoil site, although it seems to be down right now:

Or this virtual wind tunnel data analyzer:
