I used to think I need a wind meter for paragliding - until the day I nearly killed myself by launching into a wind that my wind meter told me was a safe speed. That was the last time I used it, there is nothing wrong with the meter and I consider it accurate (it is quite a good one) but very often the wind you measure while standing at launch is NOT the wind that you are about to flying in! You can gain a much better gauge of what's going on by observation of the environment and a little intuition!
FS: 1 Skywatch wind meter - hardly used.........any takers ?? Cheers All, Chris Bayley(NZ) RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
