A bit off topic, I have been searching for a simple device that has 4
pointers and a compass face. You put 1 leg on runway heading and the other
3 pointers give you crosswind, downwind and base headings. I had one in my
old cessna 170 and found it useful.
Any one know where to get another?
Thx.

*Sorta/kinda the same thing here, Ron:

I bet you could make one on your computer for less than the $12 price tag,
though.

No, but I have found that one finger held against the face of the DG
(HI) along the runway heading lets me quickly figure out the headings I
need for the various pattern entries. I teach that one to my students.
