Is there an online (or other) source for coordinates, polars, etc
for slotted airfoils?

I checkout out the information on the Zenith airfoils at:
http://www.ae.illinois.edu/m-selig/ads/coord_database.html

They are described as standard or modified NACA airfoils with
and there doesn't appear to be any information about the
slot.

Have you looked in Theory of Airfoils by Abbott and Doenhoff?

I don't know if they had a second book out, in which case I would be
interested in a copy; but the book that I have of theirs is called:
"Theory of Wing Sections" and was published by Dover. AFAIK, the EAA
Bookstore carries it.

Have a look at old NACA reports at http://ntrs.nasa.gov

Report 664 could be an interesting start.

Peter, you are correct about the title. I misremembered it.

Thanks, Bob K.
