Yeah, I use the same for the SO models we build, between 4% and 6% for
the wing, 2% less for the stab. The great thing about the simplex is
that you can cut off any length (cutoff the tail) and have the same
'foil percentage.

I've made up a set of molds from pieces of 2" sq hardwood for 'foils
from 3% to 12%, laminate the ribs using 1 1/2" wide strips of 1/32"
stock wet and glued, then strip off ribs to suit. Lots better than
sliced ribs IMHO.
