I'm looking for good refernce sources on air foils, especially STOL wing configurations. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Depends on the size and the airspeed and the wing loading and flaps and slots and etc. Please be specific.

The bible for airfoil data is NACA Report 824, published by NACA/NASA -
http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/reports/1945/naca-report-824/
STOL configurations require high lift, generated either by a highly cambered wing section, or large and relatively complex high lift devices (flaps and slats ala the Fiesler Storch http://www.avrosys.nu/aircraft/Spaning/210S14.htm)
