Did you actually do it?

(Love to know my airspeed on the motorhome, it's a huge part of my fuel consumption. Watching grass, trees, and flags helps, but doesn't quantify it.)
Here is a link to Aircraft Spruce and Specialty's airspeed indicator with MPH face plate.https://www.google.com/search?q=dwye...U5ZfMqyfsfM%3A
Along with a Pitot tube,you'd be able to register your airspeed up to 12-degrees of yaw (crosswind).
Dwyer makes a wind-seeking pickup head,that 'follows' the air.
