M12 airfoil?

If you know the chord length and it's a registered airfoil you can download
the points from a database at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
site. You have to be a little careful though, the home built market is a little
loose with specs, ie the accro sport plans say their airfoil is a m6 which it
is *not*

This topic is based on a thread that left this as it's final post. I decided to continue the thought but it deserves it's own thread start.

I have discovered that the Knight Twister Coed does not use the M6 airfoil as all documentation eludes to or directly states. I had, through my own needs, discovered the website John above lists and downloaded M6 data points for plotting and redrawing KT ribs. I couldn't get them (drawings) to fit and through more research I think the correct airfoil is an M12.

Does anyone know flying examples or flight characteristics of an M12?
It is very close to the M6 aesthetically.
