Okay, I've been curious...
Do RC fliers or other wind-related hobbyists here have an anemometer (wind speed indicator) at home? It's probably redundant where I live with online wind reports and forecasts from 2 local airfields (KPDX & KHIO). And I can see 1000 trees from my windows - tall, short, pines, firs and leafy ones. Pretty obvious when they're flailing around that it's too windy to launch my birds.
But there it was in the store, taunting me. For $49 I couldn't walk away.
So before I even open the box - does anyone else here use one at home? Useful? Useless? Another addictive toy? Thanks in advance for opinions/ideas.
