To be fair to the OP, I also have no concept of how wind direction and speed affects drift.
I don't bother with all that archaic whizzwheel "working it out" and writing a plog.
Why would I? I can just draw a route on SD lite and tell it what I hope the wind will actually be and it tells me headings to fly.
In this way I can bypass having any sort of intuition about things like drift.
Max Angle of Drift ? and therefore actual drift ?
PAH! SD will work that out.
I pity you fools who think you are "oh so clever" just because you can do diversions in your head, are aware of the masts along your route and the pitfalls of flying right at a VOR.
I don't have to clutter my brain with any of that junk.
