Someday I will be converting my flat horizontal tail to symmetrical NACA 0009 airfoil. Something like what we see on this picture, but little different. I would like to use foam ribs vs wood and I would like to install hard leading edge about first 20% or so like we do on our wings. Wondering if someone did this already on his homebuilt airplane. Trying to learn more about correct materials to use and so on. Thank you.
