Default Wing Contour?

What technique do you use to make templates ("pull a set") for the leading edge as Hank states? Do you guys know if there are existing coordinates or templates for ASK21 and ASW24?

I make templates out of 1/4 inch plywood cut to a very close profile to the leading edge.
I wax the wing well, then put a thick coating of aerodynamic fairing compound(body filler) on the inner surface of the wood template and squish into place.
When cured remove a clean up. Label immediately.
'21 has published airfoils. No idea why anyone would want to profile one.
Have '24 templates for B mod.
