PF Beck published the results here on the List, and also presented the results at Brodhead on the weekend. Essentially, the differences in performance between the two airfoils (when used on a Pietenpol wing) are negligible. The choice is up to the builder as to which airfoil to use, but performance-wise, very little difference should be expected.
