Default Thermaling

Bob,

That only works if your ship has a laminar airfoil. I guess that eliminates

I am not sure if it is correct technique, but I have learned over many =
years that a slip followed by a skid seems to increase climb rate. The =
idea is to alternate between the two maneuvers quickly. If done =
properly and at a rapid rate, the result is amazing.
