I'm not sure what airfoil Richard used on his RVs I know he told me at one time too. I also remember he talked about using another airfoil at one time years back (something like 30 years ago)

Rich is like me an aircraft nut and would need likely be glad to help. Seeing how you are fallowing after the Storch I think Rich would likely push you to the 25-6XX The Storch is not a clean...
Yes the 23012 does well if it's lightly loaded. The Taylorcraft does well with that airfoil because it has light wing loading around 7.5 PSF They also did things like putting wash out in the wings...
I talked with Rich my engineer friend this evening and told him what you were doing and he told me about the nasty habits the 23012 has. It has a very nasty stall and you have to pitch it nose down...
I did a little looking at that NACA 23012 airfoil and think there is a better one with lower CM and a better stall. I do understand you likely have all the forming blocks made, if not all...
What airfoil are you going to be using? Harry Riblett's 30-615 would be a very good replacement for what it had. On my project I'm using his 25-816.5 for it's stall and spin resents as well as the...
