Hi Paul

In my first message I said that I think the Clark-Y might be more robust
than the NACA16106.

I would like to get comments on this, with the eye on manufacturing ability.
I might be wrong and the NACA16106 might be equally as strong as the Clark-Y
if so then I would definitely use it.

It just seams that the more rounded leading edge of the Clark-Y lends itself
better to being covered with carbon or glass rapping around it.

Well perhaps. In the thin sections the 6-106 would be solid carbon.
