The document recommends the FX 74-Cl5-140 MOD (smoothed) airfoil for an RC plane flying at high or low Reynolds numbers, noting its maximum thickness of 13.1% at 27.1% chord and maximum camber of 9.7% at 41.6% chord. While NACA airfoils could also be suitable for very light aircraft, the FX 74 airfoil is deemed best for typical RC plane designs that include payload, engine, and tires towards the back of the aircraft.

Best Airfoil Design for ur RC plane flying at high or low reynolds number would be:
FX 74-Cl5-140 MOD (smoothed) - Modified Wortmann FX 74-CL5-140 high lift
airfoil (fx74modsm-il) FX 74-Cl5-140 MOD (smoothed) Modified Wortmann FX 74-CL5-140 high lift airfoil Max thickness 13.1% at 27.1% chord. Max camber 9.7% at 41.6% chord Ive run analysis on NACA 4412 AND OTHERS but for your rc design the best one would be the aforesaid above. NACA Airfoils are gonna be for even lighter aircrafts with minimum pay load aft engine, tires and so forth.
