Default RE: Adjusting control throws

Well, here's another thought to pionder (As I'm now pondering it..)

From where do you measure the amount of throw? Tip? Root? midpoint?

I ask, because some planes have tapered control surfaces such as my 4 Star. The tip of either the elevator, rudder or aileron is much smaller than the root / base. So, if I want 3/4" of throw, do I measure that 3/4" of travel at the root? the tip? the midpoint / average?
