I thought it might give the actual speed of the wind during flight. ?

lick your finger and hold it up

That tells you direction, not speed. ?

I guess it could depend on how cold your finger gets and how fast it dries. ?

Interesting video..I didn't know that attitude indicator was there. I've noticed numerous times in flight that I was drifting and assumed that the wind had exceeded the bank angle the drone was capable of maintaining. Airdata always verified it later but It's nice to know that you can see it on the controller.
