Speed triangle on ridge
I've got a FAI triangle set up where 2 of the legs are on ridges and the 3rd leg will be a down wind leg. Will it be fastest to climb in a thermal to just high enough to fly back to the ridge at min. sink, or would it be faster to thermal higher and fly back faster? Would I set the MacCready setting to the climb I'm achieving in the thermal or what?
