All the plans I've seen call for a specific radius, not thickness. With a given chord, the longer the radius, the flatter the airfoil. I never knew why they all use a plain arc rather than a more normal airfoil-like curve.
 

 I don't know about you, Ren, but links with Reynolds Numbers in them make my eyes glaze over, after a short period of reduction of self-esteem. But we both know that Gabby understands all that stuff and will use it to become a real killer.
