Any opinion regarding the subject airfoils. My current understanding is the M6 provides a buffet at the top of loops while the 23012 does not. The buffet of the M6 may be a precursor to a stall/spin inducement, whereas the 23012 would not have that Buffett tendency....any opinions or confirmations out there?
