The model is flying at an Re of about 14,000 which is in the vicinity of Cat I HLG. I would think a wing with a glider airfoil would work very well. Perhaps Dr. Drela would have some input on this.

  Might be an interesting experiment!

  Makes a good case for going with a double covered undercambered with
  with a turbulator spar or two. If you've got that much wiggle room
  with weight, might as well use it for some aerodynamic efficiency.
