FWIW, I use a "simplex" airfoil for the warped ribs we used in SO (have
a set of forms from 4% to12% camber). It's a parabolic shape that gives
the same camber whatever length the rib, got a neat program that draws a
template. Wonder how that would work on geodetic ?

We did a bit of a test with different cambers on the SO planes, I did
notice the higher camber flew slower, never got time to really prove much.
