David Lednicer's "The incomplete guide to airfoil usage." The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage is a great reference for wing airfoils. Is there a similar list that shows the tail airfoils.

I am particularly interested in tail airfoils for a fast, lightweight (sub 1400lb gross) plane capable of the +/-220mph range.

10% chord airfoils appear to be popular, would there be any advantage to a slightly thinner section (6-8%?).
