Ren,



Another option is the digital scale torque meters that you can build, o r IIRC Bill Gowen sells . These should require little or no calibration assuming the scale is in spec.

Ren,
I would say it depends upon how competitive you are. If you are a sport flier, don't enter contests to win, calibrating it probably isn't necessary. I fly with a group of guys that just counts winds, no torque meter at all. They seem to do well enough.
Once you get into being competitive, it is helpful for all the reasons Kang outlines. Fortunately, building a digital torque meter is pretty simple...
Regards.
