To add another angle to the question: does anyone know of a wind speed detector  
that estimates the amount of lift (based on up angle and speed, I suppose) at a  
slope?

BTW, I've found that my slope plane itself makes a very responsive wind direction  
indicator. I hold it vertically, nose down in the palm of one hand, with the other  
hand loosely encircling the fuse. The wings continually adjust to position  
themselves perpendicular to the wind.
