BEXIL160, what do you want to calculate? If it's for navigation purposes...

A WindProtractor will give you a wind-corrected heading to steer and estimated time en-route. It's really simple and much quicker and easier than a whizz-wheel, both on the ground and in the air. It isn't hugely accurate unless you're really careful with it, but do you need to be?
