Sin theta = opposite/adjacent. That's all you need to know to figure any angle, any time, anywhere.
Not trying to be picky, but - Slight correction: sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
For small angles they will be close to each other but we might as well get it right.
Maybe we need one of Minnflyer's graphical simulations.....
Ooops! You are correct! Thanks cstevenpeterseon! See- I can admit mistakes, too! MinnFlyer- can you just tape a pointer stick to TE of control surface and measure pointer on degreed arc that you printed from internet thanks to a great suggestion above?
