if you attach rear sponsons to the "fuselage" with 2 carbon tubes, pretty much the same as a rigger, you could use the front tube as rotation axis of the "wing" for experiment and test, make so that the front tube is between 0 and 30% of the airfoil chord, put the rear tube as far in the back as possible.
use a simple piece of light plywood for pressure/lift/ground effect testing and then use this NACA0006 airfoil for aerodynamic drag efficiency improvement
you'll find the airfoil's coordinate here http://www.ae.uiuc.edu/m-selig/ads/coord/naca0006.dat it's a .dat file you can open with notepad, if you master Autocad or others you'll be evantually able to reduce thickness, this one is 6% relative thickness witch is fairly thin, I would stay between 4% and 8%.
Have fun!
