cruise vs. climb article location

wrote: I am looking for an article from several years ago that discussed the relative importance of climb rate as compared to speed to fly between thermals. This was a fairly detailed comparison of percentage impact on net speed, emphasizing that 5-10mph cruise errors was far less important than selection and optimal use of best thermals. If anyone remembers where this article is , I would appreciate your helping me find it. Thanks, SZ Maybe in the Soaring Symposia? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=soaring+symposia Frank
