I'm thinking of a one-off project, and I'm considering different two different wings. One would be the MiniMax type wing, and the other is a typical Kolb wing. They're both used in similar speed and weight aircraft, but I wonder if the airfoil is significantly better on one or the other. I do MUCH prefer the all aluminum Kolb wing construction.

Is anyone familiar enough with the airfoil of both of these wings to give some pros and cons of each, in layman's terms? Is there any significant difference in performance between the two up to maybe 80 mph? I have to imagine they're very similar at the low speeds they're made for.

Thanks,
Rusty
