Could anyone give me some good Examples of what Wing Airfoils would be good for Ultralight Tube & Fabric Types?

Like I have a T-Bird I Airframe, I have no idea what Airfoil it use's. Looks very similar to the Affordaplane Wing.

Say one for like a low HP 277UL(26hp): "optimum low speed max lift resulting in shorter takeoff rolls, greater rates
of climb, lower hp requirements for maintaining level flight and higher max altitude at the expense of higher speed
cruise speeds and possibly stall behavior etc."

and one for say a 503(50hp): "optimum low speed max lift resulting in shorter takeoff rolls, greater rates of climb, lower hp requirements for maintaining level flight and higher max altitude at the expense of higher speed cruise speeds and possibly stall behavior etc."
