Hi, I have the plans for the Christavia Mk IV on order. Hopefully they arrive this Wednesday. I am planning on trying to reduce drag a little bit and am also looking for a lower drag airfoil. The main goal of this is to get a little more cruise speed out of the airplane. I don't have any runways less than 1500' close by, so I don't mind raising the stall speed a little bit to get a higher cruise speed. The "plan" is to use the airplane to explore our state (Wisconsin) and the neighboring states.

So, any "better" airfoils than the stock airfoil??? To be honest, I don't even know what airfoil it uses yet, I am just throwing ideas around in my head on ways to lower drag and increase speed......
