Re: Wind vane solution !
Have a look at my wind direction graph. http://www.janter.co.nz/weather/trends.htm
My vane certainly rotates erratically, probably due in part to not being high enough away from local influences.
It's hard to average a helicopter blade
Maybe more balanced weight on the vein would smooth it out a bit.
In Auckland it would stand quite a bit of weight as there is nearly always a good breeze but then you have the problem of of shooting once it's moving.
It would seem to me that a larger fin would help but extra weight would be needed on the other end.
Let em know if you need a data file or 2?
