Default Airfoil Gurus

Guys,

i am working on a project (35% aerobat) the wing profile is about the same as that of the edge 540. What would be a good airfoil selection for the wings,, stabs and rudder? I would like the airplane to be a good cross-over IMAC/3D machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For model airplanes... any of the NACA 00 series work well. The 2 digits following the 00 denote the thickness of the section, so a NACA0015 would be a 15% thick full symmetrical section.

Thanks Shaker. After scouring, I came to that conclusion too.
