Can you tell me the name of a commercial plane with a symmetric wing cross section?

Extra 300 would be one example. Generally you use symmetric profiles for acrobatic planes - as all profiles have their own pros and cons, and symmetric ones increase capabilities in inverse flight (and acrobatics) while sacrificing low speed and straight flight performance.
