Default Dynamic Soaring

Is anyone familliar with what kind of airfoils are optimal for dynamic soaring? I suppose one would like a thin airfoil with low Cd0 values at higher reynolds numbers (>3.25e6). This seems to be a pretty hot topic in the aerodynamics world. Seems that the RC glider people nowadays know more about dynamic soaring than any aerodynamicists do.
Thanks,
Ian
