Error? Who, me? If it's posted on the web, it must be right! There's only one version of the wing that's a hybrid between AS5048 and AS5045 (or AS5046, whatever), so you've got what you need. The reason I call these things several different names is that I originally used an AS5045 as the spar tip rib, but by the time you get done with the foam extension, you're pretty close to an AS5044. The last digit of the airfoil is the ratio of the thickness to the chord, but with the ten left out (I didn't name it, so don't blame me), so the AS5045 is a 15% airfoil and the AS5048 is an 18% airfoil. It bothered me a little that the tip wasn't an honest 15% tip, so I redid it so that the real tip (140.75") really IS an AS5045, and the spar tip rib is something closer to an AS5046. Got it? The bottom line is that regardless of what it's called, there's only one version of that implementation of the "new wing" published to the web, and you've got it, so get back to work!
