Maximum thickness at root?
Maximum thinckness at tip?
Incidence?
Cord at root?
Cord at tip?
Leading edge angle?
Trailing edge angle?
% distance of max thickness point back from leading edge?
Symetrical or semi-symetrical profile?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Root NACA 0008.6-1.08 41/1.20 mod, Tip NACA 0006.4-1.16 38/1.14 mod
Edited to add - check a copy of "Janes All the Worlds Aircraft" at your local library for the other details. Also see http://agert.homelinux.org/~fredrik/flyg/aircraft.html

This is a great forum. I will plot this out and take a look. I fill post an outline of the profile when I am finished :)

RE: Root NACA 0008.6-1.08 41/1.20 mod, Tip NACA 0006.4-1.16 38/1.14 mod. I understand that the 0008.8 and the 0006.4 however, what does the -1.08 41/1.20 mod or -1.16 38/1.14 mod mean?

Cant help you there. Seeing where you live aerodynamacists must be thick on the ground - give Boeing a call.

Why not just visit the local cemetary & measure up a tomb-stone?? I hope you aren't going to build one.

A good friend of mine is building up an ex RAAF Demon, to flying condition, using old parts as profiles, for new ones.
A brilliant piece of workmanship to date.
Will ask the questions for you.

robroy: When did the RAAF have F3H Demons ?

Sorry Henry, I didn't pick up on the "3H " designator, I assumed, initially that the subject was the Hawker Demon, which the RAAF had 64, A1-1 to A1-64, from 1934 to 1945.
Say hello to "Spotty Min ", for me.
Cheers

Henry, there's someone at the front door, let him in Min. I don't have the key, Henry.
Don't forget to give my regards to , "Spotty Minnie Bannister "
I spotted my error after I sent the post, the NACA bit, which is of course, is the US of A. From memory it was a USN aircraft.
Don't forget to let Neddy in
Cheers,
