Propeller hat. If it takes off, get down.

 

Surely a bit of cop on is sufficient? I do a fair bit of mewp work and there's a bit of truth to bolam and bobs comments!! If it feels too windy it probably is, if it doesn't feel too windy but you're moving a lot you probably didn't do a great job levelling the outriggers. 

If you're insistent on getting one I think the thermal ones are better for picking up mean speed and the cup type for peak gust.. just what I picked up when looking at weather stations.. so maybe a digital cup type or even a mechanical one? 

Personally can't see the need for one, unless specified by some daft safety legislation.. ones own senses should be enough to gauge these things but each to their own.

I get what your saying, but easier to have a clear cut.of point (maximum wind speed for operation) when hiring out.
