Appreciate any useful replies. Is there a way to do this on paper without looking at a HSI?
Use the windface of your whiz wheel. Use the center as the VOR, mark the FROM and TO waypoints on the appropriate radials, using a distance scale that will accomodate both points but maximize the detail/accuracy. Spin the wheel to place the TO point directly above (vertically) the FROM point, read the no-wind heading under the top index.
