John,

Another question that comes to mind: Where does one get wind/weather
predictions accurate enough for this to be useful?

Right now I'm using Golden Eagle Flight Prep and it downloads the winds from
DUATS. I've found them to be very accurate ever since I started using the
product.

Accurate enough for me to use it for planning purposes. (nothing beats a
good pirep though)

I guess it probably doesn't matter much if you are only doing a 100nm trip
once a month, but if you fly 500+nm trips every week, the winds start to
play a bigger part of your planning.
