[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 73187, member: 10850"] The problem with an anemometer is that you are only measuring wind speed on the ground. This often correlates poorly with windspeed at 50-400 feet altitude. It is often marginally breezy on the ground but over 30 knots aloft. Plenty reports of Sparks that didn't make it home because battery died quick fighting winds on return leg. I think anemometer on the ground is actually misleading and I don't see them used much. The UAV Forecast app let's you select a altitude to check wind speed. It also gives a wind profile. Been very reliable for me and very popular choice on this forum. [/QUOTE]
