I'd guess a size 12W tennis or maybe the Aquila airfoil. If you're
scratch building, why not do something like a d-tubed Clark Y? Would
probably fly better, tho more work. You'd have to work to keep the tips
light. THere's probably a hi tech equivalent that would be just a bit
better, I suppose, but that's not as much fun. I think Selig has done a
flat bottom high lift airfoil, but I don't know if it's any good. BTW, I
don't mean a generic "that reminds me of a Clark Y", I mean a REAL CLark
Y with the exact coordinates.

The Oly flys really well, but it is rather slow. I think the Clark Y
would slow down about the same but go faster when needed. I put my stock
Oly in the trees earlier this year when I flew aggressively and couldn't
get back.
