I've got them from John Woods table, I wrote to him and in e-mail he confirmedto me that they are from the book. Don't worry, these coordinates are correct,they can also be found on several reliable places. There are two other sets of612 coordinates roaming around the Internet with slightly different trailingedge coordinates.Coordinates for 613.5 where a bigger challenge to confirm that there are correct,I've found only two other aircraft except AirCamper who use this airfoil, butfinally I've found one other source of coordinates to confirm the table. So,I've posted here the drawings I've made from John's coordinates for both airfoilsand, as far as I'm concerned, consider them correct and I'm going to buildusing them.

Ivan,The GA30-612 Stations and Ordinates are shown on page 58 of the GA Airfoils book by Harry Riblett. As with all airfoil tables, these are set at 100% chord, and in order to use, willneed to be converted to the 60 in. chord if that's what you want to use asyour chord length. If you don't know how to convert, contact me offline, andI'll send you the calculated Stations and Ordinates. This is very easily donewith an Excel spreadsheet.When you go to plot, you will need to remember that there are both positive andnegative Ordinates, shown in the tables as "upper" and "lower."Hope this helps.TK--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
