Aha! That's the bit of info I was looking for. Thanks! :)

Rgr that. That's why I was thinking flying straight down at a constant speed would provide the best indication because the effects of gravity would be minimized.

I'm on the central coast (KSBP), so that's a possibility. Very tempting. :)

Thanks again!
