I don't fly, but enjoy reading and learning; unlike others, I TRY to
not do anything that even smells like trolling.

It might be realistic to look at Dwyer Instruments; there are many
offerings. In particular, the $50 unit
http://www.dwyer-inst.com/htdocs/air...riesMWSpec.CFM is 0-55
kt, resolution of 0.2 kt. Accuracy is about 5% of reading. There are
mini-pitot based models, rising vane (as used on some ultralight type
craft I've seen) and these rotating units.


That would certainly address the bumpy conditions issue. But the bumpy
conditions really aren't a problem even on approach. It doesn't actually
bump very much.

What kind of aircraft are you flying?
