Default RE: Degrees into inches

Gentlemen, One degree equals .018 [.01745 sine of 1degree] drop or increase per inch. Example:aileron2"wide moving up or down 10* would travel 11/32"
Dihederal of 3*on a 60" wing would equal- .0174X60=1.047" or .523" per side. On the models we build just multiply the lengthx.020x# of degrees desired. Close enough.
