STF question

So to be clear, when not on final glide, to achieve the best speed- over-ground the head/tail/cross wind should be ignored when determining inter-thermal cruise speed? Dan I mean, when I think about it, I come to the conclusion that you always have to (and can only) optimise your speed through the airmass by flying MC (putting aside what that actually means in reality). If the resultant XC speed given by MC theory is less than the windspeed, well, you're stuffed. Dan
