My instrument for measuring angles and deflection

4 June 2013

I spent $10 and bought this throw meter from SHS. It appeals to my 'sense of balance', but...

My ailerons are broad and made of EPP (3D plane). My HS65(?) servos wouldn't hold that amount of weight if unpowered and clipping on such a device off the trailing edge flexes my ailerons.

So here's what I did. It is easy, cheap, light and can be used in many ways. It can also be 'zeroed' if the surface is tapered.
